The plans were discussed in the presidential palace “Palácio da Alvorada” towards the end of 2022. Far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, who was previously an officer in the army, had just lost the election to Lula da Silva and his Workers’ Party (PT). According to the federal police, Bolsonaro and those close to him made a plan: They were to issue a decree to cancel the presidential election. It was to be justified by the false claim that there had been cheating in the electronic voting machines, writes the major Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. Highly technical plan Jair Bolsonaro has now been charged with complicity in an attempted coup. Among the 36 other defendants are his former vice president and his former defense minister. According to the federal police, they are charged with “crimes such as the violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, coup d’état and criminal organization”.

Their plan is without a doubt the most sensational that has come up so far. On December 15, 2022, after Lula da Silva won the election in Brazil, but before his inauguration, high-ranking military colonels are said to have planned to kill Lula with poison or with explosives. Last week, a person who was an open supporter of Bolsonaro tried to attack the Supreme Court in Brasilia with explosives. The man himself died in the attempt.

Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes was himself the target of murder in one of the coup attempts, according to the federal police. Moraes has also been criticized for staying in this case, since he himself is a victim. Photo: Ton Molina / Reuters Published 21.11.2024, at 20.18 Updated 21.11.2024, at 20.40
