Thousands Take to Streets of Brazil to Celebrate Bolsonaro's Conviction
The Guardian
|September 13, 2025
Thousands of Brazilians have taken to the streets to rejoice at Jair Bolsonaro's conviction for plotting a coup, as progressive politicians celebrated the move and rightwing figures linked to Donald Trump responded with anger and threats.
Chile's leftwing president, Gabriel Boric, led regional congratulations over the decision to jail Bolsonaro for 27 years for leading a criminal organisation that sought to seize power after the far-right populist lost the 2022 election. "My respect to Brazilian democracy, which fended off a coup attempt, and today judges and convicts those responsible for it. They tried to destroy [democracy] and today it emerges strengthened," Boric posted on X, adding: "Democracy always!"
Colombia's president, Gustavo Petro, said: "All putschists must be convicted. Those are the rules of democracy."
In Latin America, 11 September is a date deeply associated with authoritarianism and violence: it was on that day in 1973 that Gen Augusto Pinochet launched a US-backed coup in Chile that ushered in 17 years of brutal military rule.
