Lula: Brazil Will Defend Supreme Court Against US Interference

Brazil to Defend Supreme Court Against US Actions, Lula Says Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced today that his government will defend Minister Alexandre de Moraes and the Supreme Federal Court (STF) against any actions by the United States government. The announcement follows reports of Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, lobbying in the US for intervention in Brazilian politics. "It's unacceptable that a Brazilian congressman, the son of a former president, is in the US asking for intervention in our internal politics," Lula stated in a press conference. He described such actions as "unpatriotic." Lula emphasized Brazil's commitment to protecting its judicial system and its sovereignty. He further criticized Eduardo Bolsonaro's actions, suggesting they were part of a larger effort to undermine Brazilian democracy. The President's comments have sparked a significant debate in Brazil and internationally, raising questions about the relationship between the two countries.
