Bolsonaro son to hold rallies as Brazil court crisis offers opening against Lula
The rally follows a Supreme Court feud and aims to rally supporters as polls show Bolsonaro running neck and neck with Lula, organizers said.
- On Monday, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro led an Independence Day rally on Paulista Avenue in Sao Paulo, capitalizing on a Supreme Court crisis to bolster his presidential campaign against President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
- An unprecedented conflict erupted within the judiciary after Justice Andre Mendonca disclosed a report questioning alleged contacts between Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes and a banker accused of fraud, prompting calls for investigation.
- Former lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro urged supporters to "remove Alexandre de Moraes from the Supreme Court," though the senator struggles to match the turnout former President Jair Bolsonaro once attracted.
- Maintaining traditional presidential observance, Lula is expected to attend the annual Independence Day military parade in Brasilia while opposition protesters gather to demonstrate against his administration.
- Claiming "We are the last obstacle preventing Brazil from becoming a dictatorship," the senator frames the rally as a struggle against a corrupt establishment, with polls showing Flavio running neck-and-neck with the president.
