Brazilian Leader Slams Foreign Interference in Nation’s Internal Politics
(MENAFN) On Monday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva strongly denounced attempts by foreign powers to meddle in Brazil’s internal politics. This response came after U.S. President Donald Trump publicly called on Brazilian officials to stop prosecuting former President Jair Bolsonaro, who currently faces charges linked to an alleged coup attempt.
Lula emphasized Brazil’s sovereignty, stating, “Defending Brazil's democracy is an issue that concerns Brazilians. We are a sovereign country; we do not accept interference or guardianship from anyone. We have solid and independent institutions. No one is above the law, especially those who threaten freedom and the rule of law.”
Bolsonaro, who held office from 2019 until 2022, is being investigated for allegedly trying to maintain his grip on power through violent means following his defeat in the recent presidential election to Lula. The ongoing trial highlights deep political tensions and the commitment of Brazil’s judiciary to uphold democratic principles despite external pressures.
