Supporters of ousted leader Jair Bolsonaro failed to overthrow the Brazilian government, but the threat to the country’s democracy remains
Whereas the goal of Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021 was to stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory, the aim of Bolsonaristas on Jan. 8, 2023 was ostensibly to force the military’s hand.
While Bolsonaro did not goad his supporters to march on the capital as Trump did, his behavior before and after the election did enough to show them the way, says Sabatini: “You can’t give a mob the matches and the gasoline and point them towards a house and then say, ‘I wasn’t guilty of starting the fire.’”from Washington for the Biden administration to extradite the former president back to Brazil, although the government in Brasília has not made a formal request.
“He’s still got massive political capital,” says Oliver Stuenkel, a professor of international relations at Fundação Getúlio Vargas, a university and think tank in São Paulo. “It would be premature to think that this episode has weakened him.”
