SAO PAULO — Brazil’s political establishment has just UNLEASHED a LEGAL NUCLEAR BOMB, voting to POTENTIALLY FREE the nation’s most dangerous criminal: convicted coup-plotter and former President Jair Bolsonaro. In a STUNNING betrayal of democracy, the Senate has PASSED a bill that could SLASH his 27-year sentence for attempting to overthrow the government to a mere SLAP ON THE WRIST—potentially freeing him in just over TWO YEARS.
This isn’t just legal reform; it’s a REWARD FOR TREASON. The legislation, a blatant gift from Bolsonaro’s allies, would also grant MASSIVE sentence reductions for the violent mob that stormed Brazil’s halls of power on January 8th. The message is CRYSTAL CLEAR: attack democracy, and a complicit Congress might just hand you a GET-OUT-OF-JAIL-FAST card.
While Minister Gleisi Hoffmann insists President Lula will veto this “disrespectful” bill, the DAMAGE IS DONE. The very fact it passed reveals a DEEP SICKNESS at the heart of Brazilian politics. Even more chilling? Bolsonaro’s own son, Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro—a 2026 presidential hopeful—brazenly called the vote a “first step” and labeled his father’s conviction a “FARCE.” The insurrectionist dynasty is already plotting its return to power.
Tens of thousands took to the streets in outrage, but their cries for justice are being DROWNED OUT by the cynical calculations of politicians. This bill proves that for the powerful, the rule of law is merely a suggestion. If a man who tried to shatter a nation can walk free while his victims still mourn, then democracy itself is already in its final death throes.
