– Brazil’s ‘Donald Trump’ Banned From Public Office For 8 Years:
A top Brazilian court has ruled that former president Jair Bolsonaro is barred from running for office for eight years.
The country’s highest electoral court says that the man once popularly dubbed “Brazil’s Donald Trump” cannot run for or hold any public office until 2030. This means he’ll have to sit out the 2026 election, after last year he lost to left-wing opponent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Five out of seven judges found him guilty, with two judges voting against – expressing their rationale that he has a right to free speech in contesting the fairness of the last election.
