After a surprising ruling in favor of former President Jair Bolsonaro by Supreme Court
00:05
Minister Luis Fux this Wednesday, one vote is still needed for a conviction.
00:10
Our correspondent, Ramir, has more.
00:13
Day two of Brazil's Supreme Court ruling against former President Jair Bolsonaro and seven
00:20
of his cronies for allegedly plotting a military coup has come to a close.
00:24
Today was marked by a one-day-long decision issued by Minister Luis Fux, a Dilma Rousseff appointee
00:34
in 2011, who later turned on her and ruled in favor of her impeachment in 2016.
00:42
In contrast to the guilty verdicts issued by Minister Alexandre Gimoraes and Flavio Dino yesterday,
00:49
Fux claimed that the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to rule on this case because
00:56
the date that the investigation started was after most of the defendants had left political
01:02
office, meaning that they don't have political immunity which would necessitate their case
01:08
from going directly to the Supreme Court.
01:10
He argued that the case should be pushed back to the lower courts.
01:13
In direct contrast to nearly a thousand rulings he's already made on people who were arrested
01:20
for participating in the Capitol riots on January 8, 2023, he cited in favor of guilty verdicts
01:28
for nearly a thousand people.
01:30
So today he contradicted that and read off a laundry list of complaints made by the U.S.
01:36
government couched in legal language citing American law professors about freedom of speech
01:42
and things like that.
01:43
And what's the end result?
01:45
The Bolsonaro supporters are now going to have hundreds of video clips that they can
01:49
use in Instagram videos, TikTok videos to try and pressure the public and pressure Congress
01:56
for an amnesty bill to declare everyone innocent and free of charge.
02:01
This also opens up space, according to a legal scholar, Pedro Serrano, for some time in the
02:07
near future for them to be able to restart the case and try and get an annulment based on
02:13
the arguments presented by Fuchs today.
02:15
So tomorrow is the third day.
02:18
There's going to be two people voting, Carmen Lucia and Cristiano Zanin.
02:23
All they need is one more vote for a guilty verdict for the defendant.
02:26
But Fuchs' behavior today is going to create instability in the near future in Brazil.
