Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has warned his followers in a video that the country is on the brink of becoming a dictatorship. He urged them to join him in a peaceful demonstration on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro to defend democracy and freedom. Bolsonaro emphasized that the future of the country, including the future of their children and grandchildren, is at stake.
The tension between Elon Musk and Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes has escalated after Musk accused Moraes of interfering in the 2022 Brazilian elections. The dispute between Musk and Moraes further intensified when Musk accused the judge of censoring government opponents and parliamentarians. In response, Moraes included Musk in an investigation into digital militias allegedly spreading fake news. The situation has attracted international attention, with a US House of Representatives committee publishing a report on Moraes’ decisions related to digital platforms.
Bolsonaro had previously organized a large protest in São Paulo, advocating for amnesty for those detained in connection with an alleged attempted coup earlier in the year. The investigation into the incident is being led by Judge Moraes, who has already handed down severe sentences to those convicted. Despite this ongoing political and legal turmoil in Brazil, Bolsonaro and his supporters remain determined to defend their beliefs and fight for their vision of Brazil’s future.
