In their final defense before the Supreme Court, lawyers representing Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro vehemently denied the coup allegations against him. Bolsonaro stands accused of attempting to undermine the country’s democratic institutions, a charge he firmly rejects. The trial, held in Sao Paulo, has been closely watched both within Brazil and internationally. The defense team argued that Bolsonaro’s actions were within the bounds of the law and that he was simply exercising his rights as a leader. The accusations of a coup attempt have sparked widespread debate and controversy across the political spectrum.
