Brazil's ex-president gets 9 years in prison for corruption

On May 31, 2023, the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court sentenced former President Fernando Color de Mello to 8 years and 10 months in prison on charges of corruption and money laundering. Read more here.

Protesters seize Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace buildings

On January 8, 2023, supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, protesting since the end of 2022 against the election results and winning them Louis Inacio Lula da Silva, broke through security barriers in the capital Brasilia and seized the National Congress, the Supreme Court and the presidential palace.

On the afternoon of January 8, it became known that the administrators of the protest channels of radical supporters of Bolsonaro (Bolsonaro) entered into an agreement on coordination of actions. On the eve of the events, 100 buses with 4,000 passengers arrived in the center of Brasilia.

At about 14:00 local time, an organized group of "Bolsonaro" left the tent camp near the General Staff of the ground forces and headed towards Ministerial Square and Three Authorities Square.

Around 3 p.m., protesters swept away fences and broke into the grounds of the National Congress, the official residence of President Lula and the Supreme Court.

The federal district police did not provide any resistance to the crowd and only watched what was happening. Ministers were urgently evacuated (https://t.me/sex_drugs_kahlo/3916) to safer places and President Lula was transported to Sao Paulo.

Over the next two hours, a Bolsonaro mob unhindered the buildings of the president, parliament and court. The situation inside the administrative center of Brasilia resembled the assault on the Capitol in the United States on January 6, 2021.

The choice of objects of aggression was not accidental: among the protesters, Lula has a reputation as a corrupt official, Congress - traitors to Bolsonaro, and the Supreme Court personifies the political enemy of the ex-president.

At about 17:00 in Brasilia, military police units were deployed in the center of the capital. From helicopters, a crowd of thousands was bombed with tear gas, noise and stun grenades.

At 17:50 local time, Brazilian President Louis Inacio da Silva, who took office on January 1, delivered an address to the nation. He called the pogromists "fanatical fascists" and promised to find and punish not only the participants in the riots themselves, but also their sponsors.

On the basis of article 34 of the constitution, Lula announced a federal intervention in the Federal District until January 31, 2023 - a special force operation to maintain law and order with the involvement of the army and police.

This regime allows law enforcement forces to summarily detain citizens, as well as seize property and accounts of individuals and legal entities, vehicles and real estate.

By about 8 p.m., military police units had recaptured all seized buildings and cleared city squares from protesters.

As of 8:40 p.m., the federal district government had reported detaining 400 protesters. 46 rioters received injuries of varying severity.

Later, Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes dismissed the Governor of the Federal District by his decision. According to the court, the law enforcement forces of Brasilia not only did not resist, but also drove the protesters. The head of the security service of the Federal District also lost his position.

2022: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva elected President of Brazil again

Former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who was head of state from 2003 to 2010, won the presidential election on October 30, 2022.

It was during his presidency that the processes of developing cooperation within the BRIC (since 2011 - BRICS), including cooperation between Brazil and Russia, received active support .

In 2017, he was found guilty of a corruption crime and sentenced to 9.5 years in prison. He spent 580 days in custody and was released after the Supreme Court ruled the sentence unlawful and dropped all charges.

2020: Political and economic crises during the COVID-19 pandemic

As of May 13, 2020, 177,589 confirmed cases of coronavirus were detected in Brazil, COVID-19 more than 11,500 people have already died from the disease. Meanwhile, real statistics may differ significantly from the official one. coronavirus Only a limited number of patients are tested, so in fact the number of cases may turn out to be significantly higher than announced by the authorities.

The pandemic crisis provoked a significant aggravation of socio-political tensions in the country. On April 16, at the height of the epidemic, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro dismissed the popular and respected Brazilian Minister of Health Luis Enrique Mandetta. The reason for the suspension was disagreements on the settlement of the pandemic crisis. Mandetta advocated the introduction of a regime of complete self-isolation, while Bolsonaro preferred to belittle the significance and scale of the crisis and recommended a self-isolation regime only for citizens belonging to the so-called risk group.

Just a week later, another political scandal occurred, which diverted the attention of the public and the authorities from solving the urgent problem of an explosive increase in the incidence of COVID-19. On April 24, Justice Minister Sergio Moro, who became world famous as a judge who put former President Lula da Silva behind bars on corruption charges, resigned and accused Bolsonaro of trying to interfere in a federal police investigation.

As a result of friction in the political arena and an exponential increase in the incidence of coronavirus, the market situation in the country has deteriorated significantly. Thus, industrial production in April fell by 9.1% compared to March. Car production for the same period decreased by 99% compared to April 2019. Finally, the IGet index, calculated on the basis of data on debit and credit card transactions, indicates that for March retail sales decreased by 29.4% compared to February, and for April - by 41.1% compared to the same period of the previous year. It is expected that the country's GDP will decrease by 6.5% by the end of the year.

Brazil's financial market has also suffered significantly. In January-April 2020, foreign investors withdrew $23.4 billion from the Brazilian economy, and the exchange rate of the Brazilian real fell 42% against the dollar.

The pandemic crisis has hit Brazil significantly harder than many other emerging markets. The reason for this was the lack of an effective national policy to combat the spread of the disease and the aggravation of political tensions in the country, which in the worst case scenario could end with the impeachment of Bolsonaro.
