00:00In over a dozen cities in Brazil, social movements and unions took to the streets to remember
00:06the failed coup attempt of January 8, 2023.
00:09Our correspondent Bramir has more.
00:15In all of the major cities in Brazil today, thousands of people are out on the streets
00:19remembering that three years ago today, there was an unsuccessful military coup attempt
00:26which failed.
00:27Now, a lot has changed in the last year since the last time people were remembering this
00:32state.
00:33This past year, the ringleaders of the coup attempt, including former President Jair Bolsonaro
00:38and his top generals, have been convicted and jailed, with a few exceptions, like his former
00:44intelligence chief, Alexandre Ramigan, who is a fugitive of justice hiding in the United
00:50States.
00:51The rest of the ringleaders are all behind bars right now.
00:54And we have an election year underway, and there's all kinds of jockeying going on in
00:59Congress and the Senate to try and weaken the sentences against the convicted criminals,
01:05to try and get former President Jair Bolsonaro out of jail even.
01:09And they're also mobilizing behind his son, Flavio, to run for president.
01:13He's saying if he's elected, he'll pardon his father.
01:16So the struggle continues here in Brazil.
01:19There's thousands of people come out to the streets to say never again, remembering the
01:242023 military coup attempt.
