BRAZIL: Pressure on Bolsonarismo movement
Widely described in the media as a warning shot for Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2023), the federal police (PF) arrested General Walter Braga Netto on 14 December. Braga Netto was Bolsonaro’s running mate in the 2022 presidential race and is believed to have played a key role in an alleged plot to launch a military insurrection [WR-24-47]. The arrest of this close Bolsonaro ally has fuelled speculation that the net is tightening around Bolsonaro and his inner circle and has raised questions about the future direction of the far-right populist ‘Bolsonarismo’ movement.
