Trump-Musk intervened against the Brazilian trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro for the fascist coup attempt

Last Tuesday’s positions against former fascist president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, for the coup attempt of January 8, 2023, have led their allies to redouble efforts to gather the support of Donald Trump’s administration in Washington. In addition, avoiding an almost safe conviction, Bolsonaro also aims to cancel a decision that prevents him from being executed in the presidential elections of 2026.

The fascist forces around the world responded to Trump’s elections last November with Glee. Since then, he and numerous figures in his administration, especially Vice President JD Vance and the head of the Government Efficiency Department, billionaire Elon Musk, have promoted these forces to establish as many governments as possible as possible, by and for the oligarchy.

Bolsonaro, who was elected president in 2018, during the second year of the first Trump administration, has its well -established political ties with the fascist ruling circle in the United States for similar favors. After Trump’s elections, he wrote in X: “Against everything and all, Donald Trump will return to the presidency of the United States … Congratulations, friend, for this epic victory.” He also wrote: “Trump’s victory inspires Brazil to follow the same path.”

The former president’s son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, has been working hard to implement this plan. A federal deputy in Brazil with deep contacts with the American fascist law, European and Latin American, has traveled to the United States only three times this year.

Eduardo attended the inauguration of Trump that represents his father after the Minister of the Supreme Court (STF), Alexandre de Moraes, confiscated the passport of the former president. At the beginning of February, he met with Republican members of Congress and participated in interview programs of the American extreme right. Last week, Eduardo went up to the stage of the Conservative Conference of Political Action (CPAC) in the United States.

One of Eduardo’s closest allies is Steve Bannon, who entrusted him with the leadership of his fascist “movement” in Latin America. In a fascist political event in Washington before the inauguration of Trump, Bannon praised Eduardo, saying: “This is one of the most important people in our sovereignty movement worldwide. And I think that one day not far in the distant future, the president of Brazil. “

In response, Eduardo said: “If the United States did with President Trump, we could do it with President Bolsonaro in the 2026 election. In general, Brazil follows the same steps as the United States.” This phrase is a sinister reference to the fact that Bolsonaro’s coup of 2023 was inspired by Trump’s coup attempt on January 6, 2021. Eduardo Bolsonaro himself was in Washington during the assault on the United States Capitol, seeking to absorb strategic lessons.

February 17 Folha de S. Paulo He informed that Bannon spoke with the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, about the charges against Bolsonaro. According to the report, “Rubio agreed with” the concern expressed by Bannon about Bolsonaro’s complaint and “added that (Donald Trump’s administration would oppose a lot.”

To Bolsonaro and its allies, the CPAC has not been just a place to gather the extreme global right and promote its fascist ideas. Since the CPAC meeting last July in Brazil, its speakers have been working together to launch an internationally coordinated campaign against the alleged political persecution of Bolsonaro.
