Ex-President Jair Bolsonaro is facing the threat of arrest by the Federal Supreme Court for crimes involving criminal organization, threats against the democratic rule of law, and the alleged planning of an assassination attempt on current President Lula and supreme judge Alexandre de Moraes. Bolsonaro reportedly attempted to enlist the support of the Brazilian military for this operation, which was codenamed "Green and Yellow Dagger."
Following these events, the Brazilian Federal Senate voted against taxing the country's wealthiest citizens and against implementing a 5-day workweek, against the actual work schedule, (6x1 schedule). These decisions have sparked a large wave of protests and popular mobilizations across the country.
Yesterday, President Lula received a letter from the White House stating that Bolsonaro trial is unjust and anti-democratic. In retaliation, the United States announced a 50% tariff increase on Brazil. This announcement coincided with the BRICS summit taking place in Rio de Janeiro.
In a nationally televised channel, President Lula responded to President Donald Trump letter, calling it an attack on Brazil’s sovereignty and accusing Trump of triggering a global trade war. Lula stated that if the United States does not withdraw the newly imposed tariffs, Brazil will respond with reciprocal measures, including a 50% tariff on American goods.
Today, the largest protest in Brazil of this year occurred, with over 20,000 people occupying Avenida Paulista in São Paulo and thousands more protesting in various cities nationwide. People expressed opposition to the U.S. tariffs imposed by Trump, to the Brazilian Congress and Senate, and voiced strong support for taxing the bourgeoisie. Meanwhile, Trump Instagram posts are being flooded with comments from Brazilian users.
A nationwide popular vote is currently underway across Brazil regarding two major issues: the abolition of the 6x1 work schedule (six consecutive workdays followed by one day off) and the implementation of higher taxes on the super-rich.
