Bolsonaro hoping Trump's return will help political comeback in Brazil

Dec 02, 2024

Brasília [Brazil], December 2: Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro has expressed hope that United States President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House in January will help bolster his own political comeback, amid accusations that he took part in a failed coup in the South American nation.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Bolsonaro is banking on Trump pressuring Brazil with sanctions to delay enforcing a court ruling that bars him from office until 2030 for baselessly attacking the country's voting system before the 2022 elections he lost.
"Trump is back, and it's a sign we'll be back, too," Bolsonaro said in an interview with the US newspaper.
Bolsonaro's remarks come just days after Brazilian police released a report implicating the former president in an alleged criminal organisation designed to overturn the 2022 election that he lost to his left-wing rival, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. (Agencies)

The artwork was inaugurated by Shri Devendra Fadnavis, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Created from 2,000 used PET bottles and installed at Carter Road in Mumbai, Wings of Change demonstrates the practical applications of plastic recycling through artistic expression.
