The former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has called on his followers to a march on February 25 in São Paulo. In the midst of an investigation against him for conspiring to carry out a coup against Lula da Silva, the right-wing politician has insisted that it is a “peaceful” act to defend himself against the accusations he faces.
Political tension over the figure of the former president has increased as the municipal elections approach. For many political analysts, there is a risk that Bolsonero will become a political martyr if he is imprisoned by the current Government.
