1:11:05Now PlayingThousands of supporters still support former far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro even tought he is being trialed for allegedly plotting a coup after losing the 2022 presidential election.His supporters in Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo waved Brazilian flags alongside some U.S. flags, in what appeared to be a nod to President Donald Trump, who has called the legal proceedings against Bolsonaro a "witch hunt." Trump also has imposed high tariffs on Brazilian products as well as sanctions on the justices presiding over Bolsonaro's trial.
Bolsonaro, who is currently under house arrest, is facing criminal charges for attempting to cling to power after losing his reelection bid to leftist leader President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. If convicted, the 70-year-old former army captain, who denies all accusations, could face years in prison.
Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the former president's eldest son, told supporters who gathered at Copacabana Beach, in Rio de Janeiro, that his father will face the situation head-on "to demonstrate yet again that he will not give up on Brazil.”
Some critics of Bolsonaro, however, met in a different part of Brasilia, demanding his conviction. "I want to see Bolsonaro in jail," said 59-year-old Laura Lima, who carried a flag bearing messages against the former leader.
The country is also watching leaders of centrist and opposition parties work in Congress on a broad amnesty project for all those involved in the alleged coup plot, including Bolsonaro himself.
