Brazilian Congress Erupts in Protest Over Bolsonaro’s Arrest|Tape Mouths, Threaten Action Against SC

Brazil's political crisis deepens as lawmakers in Congress stage a dramatic protest against the Supreme Court's decision to place former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest for violating a social media ban. Members from six major right-wing parties—including PL, PP, PSD, Novo, and Republicans—taped their mouths shut and threatened to occupy the plenary halls of both the House and Senate. Flávio Bolsonaro denounced the judiciary’s actions as a targeted assault on his family, while senior MPs demanded total amnesty and even impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes. With threats of “war” from Bolsonaro’s allies and growing public anger, Brazil faces a possible constitutional showdown. #Bolsonaro #BrazilCongress #BrazilProtests #HouseArrest #SupremeCourt #AlexandreDeMoraes #FlavioBolsonaro #BrazilPolitics #AmnestyNow #WitchHunt #Brasilia #JairBolsonaro #LatinAmericaCrisis #DemocracyUnderFire #PoliticalShowdown ~HT.318~ED.103~PR.274~
