Brazilian Air Force Commander Testifies to Discomfort Over Bolsonaro's 'Guarantee of Law and Order'

Brazil's Supreme Court heard testimony from Brigadeiro Carlos de Almeida Baptista Jr., former commander of the Brazilian Air Force, regarding his unease with the discussions surrounding the 'guarantee of law and order' (GLO) during Jair Bolsonaro's presidency. Baptista Jr. stated, "In a certain moment, I began to see that the GLO under discussion was not what I was accustomed to seeing." His testimony, given in May, is part of the ongoing investigation into an alleged coup plot. The former president, Jair Bolsonaro, observed the proceedings remotely. This testimony provides crucial insight into the political climate following the 2022 elections and the military's role within it. The STF's investigation is expected to continue, potentially unveiling further details about the alleged plot.
