By The Conversation The storming of the three main symbols of the Brazilian republic – the supreme court, the national congress and the presidential palace – is the kind of event that could shape the country's history. While Brazil has gone through military coups and social turmoil since it became independent in 1822, never before have Brazilians witnessed such widespread disregard for political institutions. This is a story that starts around 2018, when Jair Bolsonaro – then a lackluster congressman known for supporting the military dictatorship and publicly praising notorious torturers – lau...

Washington (AFP) - Democratic lawmakers called Thursday on President Joe Biden to revoke the visa of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, saying the United States should not offer refuge to anyone involved in riots against Brazil's newly elected government.

Rio de Janeiro (AFP) - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro once took a stab at predicting the outcome of his 2022 re-election bid: "Prison, death or victory." Victory it was not. Death came in the form of an end to his presidency, which he grudgingly accepted Tuesday -- two days after the election was declared for his opponent. And prison? "You can be sure that option... does not exist," the far-right leader told members of his crucial evangelical support base in August 2021.
