Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro attacks the country's Congress and courts in a speech to hundreds of supporters
Supporters of far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro take part in a protest against social distancing and quarantine measures, recommended by Sao Paulo's governor Joao Doria, following the coronavirus disease outbreak, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, May 3, 2020. The placard reads:"Together with the captain."
On Sunday, dozens of public figures signed an open letter to the Brazilian government calling on officials to protect the nation's indigenous people, who often live in remote locations with limited access to healthcare. On Saturday, former justice minister Moro, among Brazil's most popular public figures due to his tough stance on graft, presented testimony regarding possible obstruction of justice by Bolsonaro. Hours before, the president called Moro "Judas" on Twitter, referring to the apostle that betrayed Jesus.
"We have the armed forces at the people's side: the side of order, democracy, liberty," Bolsonaro said in a speech transmitted live on Facebook.Bolsonaro did not call for a military takeover at the rally in Brasilia, and such an occurrence is widely considered unlikely in Brazil, where Congress, the courts, the press and civil society wield significant power.
