Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro led a rally in Sao Paulo to protest against the ban of the social media platform X on the country’s Independence Day. Bolsonaro criticized Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes for the ban and called him a dictator. The ban on X came after the platform refused to comply with a court order to appoint a legal representative in Brazil. Bolsonaro’s rally was attended by thousands and he used the opportunity to criticize the judiciary and spread misinformation about the 2022 elections, where he lost and was later banned from holding office until 2030 by Moraes. The protest highlighted the increasing political polarization in Brazil, with Bolsonaro’s supporters seeing the ban of X as an infringement of their free speech rights. The protest comes amid ongoing tensions between Bolsonaro, the judiciary, and his political opponents, including President Lula da Silva. The ban on X and the subsequent protest underscore the challenges facing Brazilian democracy and the deep divides within the country’s political landscape.
