Bolsonaro supporters called to streets ahead of coup trial verdict
Cape Argus
|September 08, 2025
FORMER Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro was expected to test his political strength yesterday with demonstrations in the country’s main cities, days before the Supreme Court decides whether he is guilty of attempting a coup.
-
The far-right leader, also a former army captain, risks up to 43 years in prison if convicted of attempting to cling to power after losing 2022 elections to his leftist rival Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
The court is set to deliver its verdict next week in a case which has sparked the ire of US President Donald Trump, an ally of Bolsonaro.
Bolsonaro, who has been under house arrest since August, will be the absent protagonist of the Independence Day events calling for an amnesty for hundreds of his supporters who were convicted over the January 8, 2023 storming of the Supreme Court, presidential palace and Congress.
