Flávio Bolsonaro’s advance in Brazil’s election is grim jolt for climate campaigners https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/07/flavio-bolsonaro-advance-brazil-election-jolt-climate-campaigners #Brazil #JairBolsonaro #Americas #Environment #WorldNews #Deforestation #LuizIncioLulaDaSilva #Conservation #TreesAndForests #IndigenousPeoples #FlvioBolsonaro #AmazonRainforest #TheFarRight #ClimateCrisis #LandRights

A year ago, I was taken aback by the publication, on a digital platform, of a letter from President Donald #Trump imposing a 50% #tariff on Brazilian goods. Its very first paragraph referred to former president #JairBolsonaro — who was #convicted last year for attempting a #coup d’état in #Brazil & is now under house arrest — making the political motivation behind the measure explicit. #Lula #Brazil #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie

The senior ofcl drew a distinction between this diplomatic mission & efforts by the #US govt in 2022 [under #Biden] to fortify Brazilian #democracy & avert a #military takeover. In the lead-up to that #election, #JairBolsonaro [aping #Trump] repeatedly sought to sow doubt over Brazil’s electoral system, which he [falsely] alleged was rife with fraud. #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #Brazil #Trump #BigLie

#JairBolsonaro, a former #military officer, simultaneously worked to #politicize the Brazilian military & warned of a democratic “rupture” if his power was threatened. Two days after Bolsonaro proclaimed that “the army is on our side,” then-Defense Secretary #LloydAustin spoke out in support of #democracy in #Brasília & about the need for #civilian control of the military. #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #US #Brazil #Trump #BigLie

The snr ofcl said he saw #US #intelligence assessments at the time that found “there is no credibility to these accusations against the credibility of #Brazil’s electoral system.” …Following the #election, #JairBolsonaro tried to overturn the results showing he had lost to #Lula & initiate a #military #coup, but most of the country’s generals balked at the plan. Last year, he was convicted of attempting to overthrow the Brazilian state & sentenced to 27 years in prison…. #law #Trump #BigLie

…The attempted mission by the #Trump officials marked an escalation in a lengthy feud between the #US & #Brazil over the limits of #FreedomOfExpression & the #criminal case against Trump ally former president #JairBolsonaro, who is under house arrest after being #convicted of attempting to lead an armed #coup & other charges [that was inspired by Trump’s #Jan6 coup attempt]. #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #BigLie
