Summary
Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others have been charged by federal police with conspiracy and attempting to overthrow the country’s democracy through a right-wing coup.
The accused include top allies, such as former defense ministers and intelligence officials.
The charges follow an investigation into efforts to dismantle the constitutional state, backed by evidence from financial records and plea deals.
This comes days after arrests in a separate plot to assassinate President Lula da Silva and other officials.
Bolsonaro denies involvement in the 2022 election conspiracy.
We do kinda have a two party system tho, and there is already a bigger asshole (Pablo Marcal) planning to run for president, after getting thrid place in the biggest city.
