This beligerance towards the supreme court and in particukar MR. Moraes is old news. For the most part, it comes from the radical right. Currently they are antsy because the supreme court is working towards prosecuting the people behind the coup attempt after Bolsonaro lost the election. It's expected that by the end of this year, Bolsonaro himself might be finally held accountable for his crimes.
Good question... People tried the military, the so called "moderator power". The military just arrested them instead. Then the supreme court's police started knocking on the doors of the military men. Welp.
Just because it isn't totalitarian doesn't mean it isn't authoritarian. There is no rule of law, if the STF decides to go for someone they will be the accuser, investigator, judge and even the legislator. That person will be fucked regardless of what the law says.
Turkey and India have more aligned interests. This is just a foreigner doing political agitation for a more business friendly regime under a pretext of "freedom of speech".
I'm not familiar with politics in Brazil but aren't the last guy that run the country some called him Brazil's Trump? From what I'm hear that guy is worst than the current guy which is from my perspective seems moderate. Any Brazilian care to clarify objectively?
Yes. Bolsonaro. The Trump from the Tropics as they call him.
The guy planned a violent coup and failed. He couldn't get the all military branches to back him, just one. There's plenty of evidence and a long list of crimes.
He knows he's going to jail and with him the dreams of the extreme right.
To me all of this sounds like the dying scream of a cornered beast.
The current president is quite left wing, at least by US standards. He was also president before. Then was charged with corruption. Then the chargers were annulled. I don't think you are going to get particularly unbiased answers about him from a predominately US website.
The last guy certainly is brazilian trump. I wouldn't call him worse than this literal world touring champagne socialist though. Brazilian trump said a lot of profoundly stupid things but I think he did alright managing the economy despite the pandemic and russian war. Current guy is spending money like there's no tomorrow and basically undid any and all progress last guy made out of spite.
He's lying. Lula is corrupt? Of course he is. Just as corrupt as anyone that came before and after him. But he's far from being the biggest criminal. He's the first president in BR history to really narrow the gap of social inequality.
That's why the extreme right hates him and persecuted him until he was illegally jailed. He was so popular that they were afraid that he would be able to install a communist government in Brazil.
But Lula is just a populist. He's center left and friends with all big bankers. He's far from a communist. But he's no angel.

The old government and its pawns tried a violent coup and failed. Now they must pay for the crimes they committed. There's not much more than that.

What an absolute joke of a person. Says whatever fits him best at any given moment, while pretending to be a champion of free speech.
