Lula Condemns Bolsonaro Jr.'s US Trip, Accuses Him of Terrorism

Brazilian President Lula da Silva has condemned the actions of Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, during his visit to the United States. Eduardo Bolsonaro, who is currently on leave from his congressional mandate, has been actively seeking US intervention in Brazilian affairs by requesting sanctions against Brazilian authorities, including Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Lula's response was swift and scathing. "It is unacceptable that a Brazilian deputy, the son of a former president, is there trying to curry favor with Trump and Trump's advisors, requesting intervention in Brazilian politics," Lula stated in a press conference. The Brazilian government received a document from the United States regarding Justice Moraes' actions, which the Ministry of Justice characterized as merely informative. Despite this, Lula firmly defended Moraes and the Supreme Court, emphasizing Brazil's commitment to its own political sovereignty. Lula's strong words highlight the escalating tensions within Brazilian politics and its international relations.
