BRASÍLIA – Brazil’s ex-president Jair Bolsonaro left his home where he is under house arrest to undergo medical exams on Saturday, weeks before the Supreme Court rules whether he is guilty of plotting a coup. The right-wing firebrand is accused of attempting to undermine democratic institutions and incite violence to stay in power. Bolsonaro’s decision to leave house arrest for medical exams raised concerns about possible political influence in the medical evaluation process. Despite the medical appointments, Bolsonaro continues to deny all accusations against him and insists that his actions were meant to protect Brazil from corruption. The former president’s supporters gathered outside his home to show solidarity, while his opponents protested against what they see as a threat to democracy. The ongoing political turmoil in Brazil has caused division among the population, with uncertainty about the country’s future political landscape. The Supreme Court’s ruling on Bolsonaro’s case is highly anticipated and could have significant implications for Brazil’s political climate.
