247 - Federal deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ) demanded this week that the Chamber of Deputies take action against Eduardo Bolsonaro after the PL-SP deputy and other congressmen supporting Jair Bolsonaro (PL) went to the United States, where he made attacks on the Brazilian Judiciary"What the Bolsonaro supporters went to do in the US is coup tourism. The Chamber cannot accept such a thing!", wrote the PT member on the social network X, formerly Twitter.

Last Tuesday (12), Eduardo Bolsonaro gave a press conference in front of the Capitol (US Legislature), where former US President Donald Trump (Republican Party) and his supporters attempted a coup in 2021. The congressman compared Brazil to 'concentration camps' that, according to him, exist in Venezuela and Cuba.

In attacking the Judiciary, the congressman said that the right to a full defense no longer exists in Brazil. The Bolsonaro family and their associates are being investigated for schemes such as attempted coups, vaccination card fraud, and spreading fake news.

Criticism of the judiciary is one of the strategies employed by American Steve Bannon, who has spent the last decade trying to bring right-wing parties to power in the United States and other countries. In January 2021, when Trump lost the election, several supporters stormed the legislature and accused the electoral system of being fraudulent.

Bannon, who was Trump's strategist, met with federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) in the US after the second round of the election in Brazil and He advised the parliamentarian to question the result..

In a decision last year, the Superior Electoral Court declared the former president ineligible for office because he had questioned, without evidence, the security of the Brazilian electoral system against electoral fraud.
