Former Brazil military chief on Bolsonaro coup resistance
Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s former president, was involved in an attempted coup at the end of his term in 2022, when he refused to accept his election loss and discussed plans with military leaders to remain in power. A draft decree to invalidate Lula’s election was presented but resisted by some military officials, including Lt. Brig Carlos Baptista Júnior, who refused to participate. Baptista Júnior’s new book details his opposition to the coup efforts, the pressure he faced from other military figures, and his view that Bolsonaro’s attempts to cling to power threatened democracy.
