Bolsonaro's Ministers Deny Coup Plot: STF Testimony Reveals Contradictions

Brazil: Bolsonaro's Former Ministers Deny Coup Involvement in STF Testimony Brazil is grappling with the fallout of testimony given before the Supreme Federal Court (STF). Three former ministers who served under former President Jair Bolsonaro have denied any involvement in a plot to overthrow the democratically elected government. Their statements directly contradict a video discovered on the computer of Bolsonaro's former aide, Mauro Cid, which shows Bolsonaro accusing the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) of manipulating the election and urging action before the election. "We heard the statements of the former Attorney General of the Union, Bruno Bianco, the former Comptroller General of the Union, Wagner Rosário, and the former Minister of Mines and Energy, Adolfo Sachsida," said SBT reporter Paola Cuenca. The video evidence suggests a potential attempt to undermine the electoral process. The former ministers' denials add another layer of complexity to this already tense political climate. The STF's ongoing investigation will be crucial in determining the truth of these conflicting accounts. The situation highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in the Brazilian political system.
