Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro will face his first trial this Thursday at the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE), which could make him ineligible for the next eight years in a case that charges him with abuse of political power.
The lawsuit alleges that Jair Bolsonaro committed an abuse of political power and misuse of the media during a meeting arranged by the then head of the Brazilian state in the midst of an election campaign with foreign ambassadors at Alvorada Palace, the president’s official residence in Brasilia. , July 18, 2022
At this meeting, Jair Bolsonaro launched several baseless attacks on the reliability of the electoral process and, more precisely, on the electronic ballot boxes used since 1996 and validated by various international bodies, and the same ones that elected him for several terms as a federal deputy and president.
