Brazil ex-leader Bolsonaro denies coup allegations
Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, has denied allegations of planning a coup in the country. In a statement released today, Bolsonaro refuted claims made by his critics and political opponents that he was seeking to overthrow the government in a bid to retain power.
The ex-president’s denial comes amidst growing political tensions in Brazil, with many accusing him of undermining democracy and attempting to subvert the rule of law. Bolsonaro, however, maintains that he has always acted within the bounds of the law and has no intention of seizing power illegitimately.
Despite the denials, many remain skeptical of Bolsonaro’s motives and are calling for a full investigation into the matter. The allegations have sparked widespread protests and unrest across the country, with many fearing that Brazil’s democratic institutions are under threat.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains unclear what the future holds for Brazil and its political landscape. Bolsonaro’s denial is unlikely to quell the growing concerns over the state of democracy in the country, and many are calling for swift action to protect Brazil’s democratic system.
