Brazil’s socialist regime under Lula Da Silva is stepping up its persecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The Supreme Court on Friday ordered federal police to raid his residence and the headquarters of his political party in Brasilia.
Bolsonaro has been ordered to wear an electronic ankle monitor, a measure he called “a supreme humiliation.”
Under the court’s restrictions, the former Brazilian president is banned from leaving his home at night, engaging with foreign diplomats or ambassadors, and going near any embassy.
He is also forbidden from using social media or communicating with others under investigation, including his son Eduardo Bolsonaro, who is himself a Congressman.
Bolsonaro is currently being tried by the Supreme Court over claims that he led an effort to overturn the 2022 election results, which were tainted by fraud in a similar way to the 2020 presidential elections in America.
The use of an ankle bracelet is widely seen as an effort to prevent Bolsonaro from fleeing the country, amid reports that Trump was considering offering the former president political asylum.
Trump reaffirmed his support for Bolsonaro in a letter he posted on Truth Social on Thursday, having already imposed a 50 percent tariff on Brazilian goods.
He wrote:
I have seen the terrible treatment you are receiving at the hands of an unjust system turned against you. This trial should end immediately! I am not surprised to see you leading in the polls; you were a highly respected and strong leader who served your country well.
I share your commitment to listening to the voice of the people and I am very concerned about the attacks on free speech — both in Brazil and in the United States — coming out of the current government.
I have strongly voiced my disapproval both publicly and through our Tariff policy. It is my sincere hope that the Government of Brazil changes course, stops attacking political opponents, and ends their ridiculous censorship regime. I will be watching closely.
Brazil’s socialist president, Lula Ignacio da Silva, has accused Trump of “unacceptable blackmail.”
“No foreigner is going to give orders to this president,” Lula said in a speech this week.
“We expected a response, and what we received was unacceptable blackmail, in the form of threats to Brazilian institutions and false information about trade between Brazil and the United States.”
