Bolsonaro on trial for misconduct

According to the national media report, Bolsonaro will be disqualified from politics for 8 years if he is found guilty and will not be able to hold any public office.

Although the first hearing, which Bolsonaro did not attend, was postponed to June 27, it is considered that a decision can be made at the second hearing.

Far-right Bolsonaro’s lawyer, Tarcisio Vieira, argued that the accusations were unfounded and that his client did nothing more than express his point of view on the country’s electoral system.

“A maximum fine can be imposed if there is non-compliance, but it would not be correct to deprive him of his political rights,” Vieira said. he used the phrase.

APPROPRIATIONS AGAINST BOLSONARO

Bolsonaro is accused of attacking the personal rights of members of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, abuse of authority and abuse of the media, by calling the 2022 electoral system fraudulent and during his meeting with ambassadors while he was president.

Bolsonaro said in an interview with CNN Brazil on June 21 that the case was “insignificant” and that he was trying to break a storm in a glass.

In his meeting with the ambassadors, Bolsonaro argued that he did not “cheat” the electoral system and did not insult the deputies, and stated that he only shared with the ambassadors how the electoral system works.

Jair Bolsonaro, although he did not have any evidence at the time, argued that the electronic election system used in the country since 1996 was suspect, stated that the 2022 elections would be suspect, and insisted on the use of printed ballots. (AA)
