USA condemn Moraes arrest order: ‘Let Bolsonaro speak’

“The United States condemn the order of Moraes that has imposed house arrest to Bolsonaro and will hold all those who collaborate or facilitate sanctioned conduct,” the text concludes.

Moraes justified arrest order with Bolsonaro speech during demonstration

Moraes’s decision was made because, according to him, Bolsonaro had violated the terms of the precautionary measures imposed on him on the 18th. According to the minister, this happened when Bolsonaro went to his street demonstration yesterday, via video call and produced material for distribution on social networks.

Bolsonaro’s son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, even posted the former president’s lines on social networks and then erased them, citing “legal uncertainty.” The former president, who has been wearing anklet, has not attended the marches in person because he could no longer leave his home on weekends. He had already been accused by Moraes of breaking the precautions once before.

In statements, Trump and his assistants have qualified the judicial process to which the former president is responsible for attempting violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, among other crimes, of a “witch hunt”.
