STORYLINE:
Tens of thousands of supporters of Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro took to the streets on the country’s Independence Day on Sunday, rallying against the Supreme Court that will issue a verdict in their leader’s alleged coup trial this week.
Crowds dressed in yellow and green once again gathered in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to back Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest, before his verdict.
Their favorite target was Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, the rapporteur of the case.
Bolsonaro is standing trial for allegedly leading a coup to stay in power despite his 2022 election defeat to Lula.
He denies the charges and says he is being politically persecuted.
In Sao Paulo, Bolsonaro was represented by governor Tarcisio de Freitas, a presidential hopeful, and his wife Michelle Bolsonaro, who delivered a tearful speech on the city’s main artery.
"I wanted to say a lot here today, b ut I just can’t, please forgive me. Because the one who should be here today is my husband, who is now gagged at home, wearing an ankle monitor,,” Michelle Bolsonaro said.
Still, the enthusiasm of his diehard right-wing voters ran strong on Sunday, with many professing his innocence.
Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of the president, attended the demonstration in Rio de Janeiro, and wore a shirt that read “Bolsonaro 2026," though his father is barred from running.
In 2023, Brazil’s top electoral court ruled Jair Bolsonaro ineligible until 2030 for abuse of power.
