BRAZIL: Tensions rise between judiciary and Bolsonarismo
A group of allies and supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2023) set up tents near the seats of government in Brasília on 25 July to protest what they consider to be judicial persecution of their political torchbearer, who faces charges for allegedly plotting a coup in 2022. Bolsonaro is subject to court restrictions, such as a curfew and a social media ban [WR-25-29], but after this attempt to launch a protest in the capital, the supreme court (STF) has now prohibited encampments from being setting up within a 1km-radius of the Praça dos Três Poderes, the square on which the presidential palace, congress, and supreme court building are located.
