BRASILIA: A Brazilian court on Friday reached the majority it needs to bar far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro from politics for eight years over unfounded claims against the voting system.
If convicted, Bolsonaro will be ineligible to stand in the next presidential election in 2026, opening the contest for a new leader of the political right. Bolsonaro spent nearly an hour making his argument to the assembled ambassadors, armed with a PowerPoint presentation but no hard evidence to back his claims that electronic voting machines in use since 1996 compromised election transparency.
"He instigated a belief that there was a real threat the results of the 2022 election would be adulterated," said the judge.
Bolsonaro's unsubstantiated talk of election fraud and the Jan 8 riots drew comparisons to his political role model, Donald Trump and his bid to hang onto power after losing the 2020 US presidential election.
