There is no date yet, the future ruling of former President Geer Bolsonaro (PL) is gaining the headlines of international newspapers since he became accused last week of a first -class decision from the Supreme Court (STF).
International press vehicles overlook the details of the investigation into the alleged attempt to coup against the results of the 2022 elections. An analysis of the British Financial Times, a reference to financial markets, classified the trial of the former president as “risky”.
In a special report signed by Michael Stout and Michael Book of Brazilian, the post states that the alleged Bolsonaro crimes represent “complô with military support to topple one of the world’s greatest democracies.”
Comparisons with Donald Trump
The newspaper highlights the potential of the former president to divide Brazil and increase the popularity of Bolsonaro, compared to another right leader Donald Trump.
According to the Financial Times, there is a similarity to what happened to the Republic after January 6, 2021, When supporters of the US head of state invaded the CapitolThe headquarters of the American Legislative Authority, to try to prevent Joe Biden from winning the certificate in the polls.
Through political risk consultant Christopher da being Beno Garman, FT emphasizes that the American rebellion did not prevent Trump from returning to the most powerful position in the world. The comparison indicates that the legal problems Polsonaro may not harm its popularity, as happened with Republicans in the United States.
In addition, there is a mention that the trial of Bolsonaro can make him a martyr.
Brazil divided
Regarding the division mentioned in Brazil due to the trial, the British newspaper highlights a survey last week from Atlantle. The data indicates that 51 % of the Brazilians have heard believed that Bolsonaro plans to strike and 48 % believe it is innocent. FT treats this point as the central issue of future rule against Bolsonaro.
STF reflections
Even in photographing accusations against the former president as a “conspiracy” to “topple one of the greatest democracies in the world”, the financial Times thought that the Supreme Court is “an unusual power institution over the past decade” and still refers to Minister Alexander de Mora as “one of the higher rulings).
The report acknowledges that Minister Alexander de Mora was one of the “supposed victims of the plot”, but at the same time I launched the investigation of the plan and was part of the group of judges who agreed to listen to the case and will now help Judge Bolsonaro. “
The newspaper also admits that “the Supreme Court has lost in recent years the reliability of the population,” citing a survey of the December authority last year. Data that brought that 43 % of the respondents described the court’s behavior as “bad or terrible”.
Polsonaro version
The Financial Times also devotes part of the report to the arguments of the defense of Gear Bolsonaro, indicating that the former president believes that the judiciary is “completely aligned” with Lula. The newspaper reflects ideas similar to the Polisonarians in the United States, who claim “not justice, it relates to the abolition of political competition through the judicial war.” FT is cloning Polsonaro’s speech that he believes is “a personal thing” against him.
Archeology in 2026
The influence of the future judgment of Polsonaro on the 2026 elections in Brazil is also a point for the report. According to the British publication, the case will launch a “long shadow” about the presidential elections for the next year, with the possibility of arresting the former and unqualified popular president, which happened with Lula in 2018.
