Pro-Trump former Brazil president Jair Bolsonaro will speak at CPAC this week


Right-wing politician facing investigations over riots in Brazilian capital in January

Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro is set to join Donald Trump by giving a speech at this week’s Conservative Political Action Conference.

The right-wing politician, who has been in Florida for the past two months, is facing investigations in his home country after his supporter rioted following his election defeat.

Mr Trump endorsed Mr Bolsonaro’s attempt to remain in power in Brazil, only for him to be defeated by Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Leftist leader Lula’s government want Mr Bolsonaro to return to the county by the end of March to appear before Brazilian courts.

The attack on institutions in the Brazilian capital on 8 January has drawn comparisons to the insurrection by Mr Trump’s supporters at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Birds of a feather..two peas in a pod. What could they possibly contribute? Both former presidents that lost their re elections n are under investigations. I don’t get it.
