Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro expressed hope during yesterday's protest rally of conservative politicians and citizens that US presidential candidate Donald Trump will return to the White House, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
The far-right leader announced that the right is strengthening its positions all over the world, for example in Italy and France.
"With God's help (US president) it will be Trump in November,'' Bolsonaro told about 3,500 of his supporters at a rally organized by the Brazilian branch of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CAPC Brasil) in the coastal resort of Balneario Camboriu in southern Brazil.
The demonstration was the first significant mass manifestation of the opposition aimed at local elections in the country in October. Bolsonaro's goal is now to start gathering support for the presidential elections in 2026. "We want Bolsonaro back," his supporters chanted during the protest, even though the former head of state is banned from running in elections until 2030. because of "an attack on democracy", Reuters points out.
"It is very important for us to reunite conservatives with liberal views on the economy and to discuss the future of the right in Brazil," said former environment minister Ricardo Sales.
