Brazil said on Tuesday that the United States had revoked the US visa of the country's justice minister, the latest official to be punished by Washington over the coup trial of former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro. Speaking on FRANCE 24, Richard Lapper, Senior Fellow on the US & Americas Programme at Chatham House, says that pressure from the United States has actually increased President Lula's popularity.

Yeah, it's their calling card-dump a load of trash insults and then run away. He is afraid to engage because he knows that the #Biden administration did absolutely nothing to get justice for the people, especially those who lost their lives on Jan 6th. Just look at how quickly Brazil dealt with #Bolsonaro. I'm not going to even mention Biden's record with #Gaza.

La Policía Federal de #Brasil🇧🇷 empieza el procedimiento para acusar a #Bolsonaro de intentar influir en el juicio contra él. Entre los acusados también está su hijo Eduardo (ahora en EE UU actuando de embajador oficioso ante el Donald™) y el pastor evangélico Silas Malafaia. Lo importante: la policía tiene mensajes en los que el expresidente planea huir a #Argentina🇦🇷 y pedirle asilo a Milei. Si el juez ve riesgo de fuga, le puede entrullar

"Contrasting Brazil’s prosecution of #Bolsonaro with the dropping of election interference charges against #Trump in the US, Ricupero says that while #Brazil “has many faults, in this specific case, Brazil has been able to defend #democracy better than the American institutions”.

Pressure from the US is Bolsonaro’s main hope for escaping the serious charges against him: the hard-right former army captain faces up to 40 years in jail if convicted."

„The greatest secret of monarchic rule...is to keep men deceived and to cloak in the specious name of religion the fear by which they must be checked, so that they will fight for slavery as they would for salvation, and will think it not shameful, but a most honorable achievement, to give their life and blood that one man may have a ground for boasting.“
