Though the far-right former president has been held accountable for overseeing the plot, supporters at home and abroad still rally to his causeA populist president refused to accept his defeat at the ballot box, insisting that the election had been stolen.

And then, on Thursday, Brazil’s supreme court sentenced the former president Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years in prison for leading a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2022 elections and “annihilate” democracy through a coup.
