00:00:02funds, he had, he had
00:00:12Hello, it's safe to say we weren't expecting it, Flavio
00:00:16Brazilians are very jealous indeed of that on the evening and the day after Bolsonaro in the lead after the first round of the presidential election in
00:00:19Brazil, no poll had seen it coming, a disappointment
00:00:23for the outgoing head of state, Loula who is now approaching the
00:00:27second round as a Challenger, is it the fight too many? You will tell us about the
00:00:31will not be that mia walalu, what are the keys to this election and the lessons we can
00:00:34already draw from it, you who are a specialist in Latin America, you were a
00:00:37correspondent in Brazil and you are the author of Jesus Thème la
00:00:41déferlante évangélique aux éditions du ser which evokes
00:00:44the presence of these churches in Brazil and let's go back
00:00:48to this twist at the announcement of the results, Loula
00:00:51Bolsonaro, the leading duo of this
00:00:54opposition from law election and well the one announced, but not in the expected order, their duel will only be more
00:00:58indecisive.
00:01:02All smiles on the evening of the first round, at 45 years old, the populist right-wing candidate
00:01:05comes out on top of the
00:01:07votes. I can't be
00:01:10happier to see that Brazil wants
00:01:11change.
00:01:14In the streets of Rial, his supporters exult. The
00:01:18surprise is huge, Flavio Bolsonaro is well on his way to
00:01:21winning. It's his father, Jahir Bolsonaro,
00:01:24the former far-right president, condemned for attempting a coup
00:01:28d'état, who designated him.
00:01:40Uberization of
00:01:44hardest and that perhaps Lula's
00:02:04In his camp, faces are drawn, the rising cost of
00:02:08living swept away the polls which until the last moment had him leading the
00:02:12ballot, his supporters seem to have lost
00:02:14hope, we have to start campaigning again, otherwise we will
00:02:18lose, and that will be 4 difficult
00:02:20years, if Flavio Bolsonaro wins in the second
00:02:24round, Brazil would join the conservative
00:02:27wave in South America. encouraged
00:02:30by Donald Trump.
00:02:33The mia or the lou, the Bolsonaro vote which exceeds on election
00:02:38and this is now the mission of Lula's day, the intentions expressed by voters in the polls, it's
00:02:41almost a habit now, in view of the last three presidential elections
00:02:45in Brazil. Yes, there is undoubtedly a dimension of vote, of shame, of
00:02:48hidden vote, which we expected because even today,
00:02:52not everyone says they vote Bolsonaro, first because Flavio
00:02:55Bolsonaro himself doesn't have a real career, it's more of a family name
00:02:58than anything else. uh and then when you know him, you know him more for
00:03:02his links with militias, for the big corruption stories, he has for example a
00:03:06chocolate shop where he sells the same quantity every month, there's no more
00:03:10for PAC, it's just money laundering, in fact he has many more serious stories
00:03:14by the way, so he has a good part of his
00:03:17voters who undoubtedly did not declare what they were going to vote for,
00:03:21and we must also imagine a mobilization effect which is
00:03:25linked to networks among others linked to evangelical
00:03:28churches which are very... powerful and to very powerful social networks, very very well
00:03:32organized, much better organized on the Bolsonaro side than on Loula's side and
00:03:36which pushed people to vote at the last minute, it must be said that
00:03:40up to two or three days before there were about thirty percent who said
00:03:44they were undecided, which is still practically unprecedented in Brazil, so a
00:03:47strong capacity for mobilization to mobilize its own voters on election
00:03:51day, but also as you told us, a declarative bias, a hidden vote,
00:03:55nevertheless when we look, there has been a constant progression of
00:03:59votes in favor of... of
00:04:00counter the growing elected were elected. with Bolsonaro whether it is the first election of 2018,
00:04:042022, or even losing, he had nevertheless improved his
00:04:08score in terms of votes, 56
00:04:11300 injured, that's the toll of million, 58 million even in the 2nd round, there we are at 56 million in the first
00:04:14round, he makes an opera on the Brazilian right, he makes the opera on
00:04:18the Brazilian right as unfortunately a little in the world, we see that the far right makes
00:04:21the OPA on the traditional right, the traditional right no longer has real
00:04:24narratives uh while the far right has managed to have a narrative in
00:04:28terms of values. basing itself on religion, by having a
00:04:32discourse on what it means to be a very entrepreneur, against
00:04:35the state, against taxes and against
00:04:38criminality, without ever having real proposals, if you pay attention, Bolsonaro's
00:04:42discourse, Flavio Bolsonaro's, it was neither
00:04:46to claim his father's record, because it is catastrophic, so he was careful
00:04:50not to do it, nor to put forward truly
00:04:53real measures, no measures on any of these subjects, so I'm going to be very hard
00:04:57against criminality,
00:04:58who had just legitimately defeated him in the how by establishing large large prisons like they did in El Salvador,
00:05:02Salvador is a tiny country, it makes no sense to reestablish that in Brazil,
00:05:05obviously, the problem in Brazil is profound, but it
00:05:08is, it's not going to be stopped like that, and he plays he has... normally
00:05:12played on an anti-PTism and an anti-Lulism
00:05:16party for the workers' party precisely uh and an
00:05:19anti-Lulism that is rooted in a part of the population, it's more of a
00:05:22rejection election than an adhesion election and the proof by the way is
00:05:27the election there were no Bolsonarists in the street, no one was celebrating while
00:05:31in 2018 they were celebrating uh they went to
00:05:34claim with with the t-shirt of the Seleção, I mean of the Brazilian
00:05:38team in the street there it's more it's an
00:05:41election marked by apathy,
00:05:44by the absence of a project, disillusionment, disillusionment and the fact that Lula
00:05:48never succeeded despite a mandate which is
00:05:52rather positive to make people dream and absence
00:05:55of enthusiasm, how do we react to this thunderclap on site Marine
00:05:58Ress, it's the home stretch in Brazil and
00:06:02yet here it feels like the campaign has just
00:06:05begun, on one side Flavio Bolsonaro boosted by his historic
00:06:09far-right results and who will try to recover. the votes
00:06:13of voters who voted for the other candidates of the right and center,
00:06:16and on the other side, the outgoing president Louis Inasiolo
00:06:20da Silva, who said he was disappointed with his results, he expected to win in the
00:06:23first round, even according to his campaign team, the strategy
00:06:27was not the right one, so it will be necessary to go out into the field, convince
00:06:31the voters from the working classes and laborers, while waiting
00:06:34until October 25, many demonstrations are planned in both
00:06:38camps, but especially a presidential debate, Brazilians
00:06:42were deprived of it in the first round, it will be the moment for the two
00:06:45candidates to confront their ideas, their vision of the world
00:06:49above all and then to debate on the substance more than on the form, it will also be necessary
00:06:53to convince the 33 million abstentionist
00:06:56voters, it's a record for more than 30 years in Brazil, where
00:07:00voting is nevertheless mandatory between the two candidates,
00:07:03Flavio Bolsonaro and Louis Sinala da Silva, only 2
00:07:07million votes separate them. And
00:07:10Flavio Bolsonaro has already registered the support of three. of the four others,
00:07:13candidate, Augusto Corry, Ronaldo, Cayado and then
00:07:17Romain Zema out of a total of a little over 5% of the votes, that puts him in a
00:07:21good position, in a favorite position for the second round, ah he is in a favorite position because already in the
00:07:24history of Brazil when you are first in the first round in general you win, ah that doesn't mean that
00:07:28it's impossible uh because he still has a lot of people we
00:07:31can go for, so you mentioned it in
00:07:35your correspondent mentioned it, he has 33 million Brazilians who have
00:07:39not voted and in particular a large part of the...
00:07:42elderly Brazilians who would tend to vote for Lula and
00:07:45they can very easily not vote because it's not mandatory for them when you're over
00:07:4970 years old and he also has 7 million blank
00:07:53and void votes so if you add the two he still has a quarter of the electorate
00:07:57who did not express themselves so he
00:08:00actually has the possibility of changing the situation it will be
00:08:03difficult we see that the militants have
00:08:07taken to the streets which was not at all the case until then until then there was on
00:08:11the side of the militants of the party. if the workers of Lula had the idea well he will win, there's no need
00:08:15for us to go, now he has a lot of spontaneous demonstrations,
00:08:18students, so will it be enough, that's the
00:08:21question, if we look in any case at the result also in the Brazilian
00:08:25National Congress where senators and deputies were also elected, we can
00:08:28say that Bolsonaro's Liberal Party is in full
00:08:31swing, there was an absolute landslide, particularly in the
00:08:34Senate, which is frightening because now they have
00:08:38about thirty, a good third of the Senate, which gives them the
00:08:41possibility. to do a lot of things, even if Lula is elected, Lula will effectively be completely
00:08:45tied because of that, and that is explained by the fact that they ran a very
00:08:49professional election, the Liberal Party's Senate
00:08:53candidates for Bolsonaro were chosen 3
00:08:56years ago, they have been working on the ground for 3 years, on Lula's
00:09:00side, it was done a little at the last minute, many names were announced only in February, there
00:09:04was an unprofessional side to this campaign that we are paying for today, yes and
00:09:07then even members of the Bolsonaro clan who were candidates and who were
00:09:13money whose origin we know is more than obscure
00:09:16in fact that it is very problematic, but in a certain way now we completely
00:09:20forgive them, the name Bolsonaro effectively makes people vote,
00:09:23it's a myth as they say in a part of the population, several members of this
00:09:27family elected and within this family, it is therefore to the eldest son Flavio that
00:09:31Jair Bolsonaro passed the torch, being himself prevented by a conviction, we will
00:09:35come back to that, but first who exactly
00:09:38is Flavio Bolsonaro Dalila Gomeri, in the Bolsonaro
00:09:41family. I ask for the son
00:09:44Flavio, eldest son of Jair Bolsonaro, he looks like him like
00:09:47two drops of water, he is 45 years old, married,
00:09:50father of two daughters, he is a lawyer by training,
00:09:54he says he is an evangelist and attached
00:09:57to traditional values and tradition among the Bolsonaros, it's politics, he
00:10:01was elected deputy at the age
00:10:04of 21 for the state of Rio where he will be senator in
00:10:082018, in 2020 he joins the
00:10:11Liberal Party. but despite his background, he
00:10:15remains in the shadow of his
00:10:17father, nothing predestined him to
00:10:20follow in his footsteps, we must wait until 2025 when Jair
00:10:24Bolsonaro and... is sentenced to 27 hours of prison for him
00:10:27to anoint him as his political
00:10:30heir. Flavio therefore takes up the torch, he
00:10:33presents himself as a moderate Bolsonaro
00:10:37to stick to a slightly more polished image than that of
00:10:40his father, he avoids for example diatribes against institutions,
00:10:44especially justice, he had no real interest in doing so given that
00:10:48several corruption cases weigh on his
00:10:51campaign, uh his program, he focused
00:10:55on rampant crime in Brazil and
00:10:58his model is the president of El Salvador
00:11:01Neib Boukele, he also announces an austerity
00:11:04policy and a return to conservative
00:11:07values especially on societal issues and if he is
00:11:11elected, as we just said, he can count on his elected relatives
00:11:14senators and deputies especially to pass
00:11:17his famous amnesty law for his
00:11:20father's supporters who participated in the 2023 riots and especially to
00:11:25free his father currently incarcerated Lamia
00:11:28Waalalu, he will be able to free his father Flavio
00:11:32Bolsonaro, if he is elected, if he is elected undoubtedly yes, between the
00:11:36fact that he will have a de facto majority in the Senate and if he
00:11:40is in the presidency, between the pardon and the fact that he will also be able to get rid
00:11:43of the judges who bother him in the Supreme Court, having the majority in the Senate,
00:11:46he will be able to free him, so years in prison nevertheless
00:11:50for Bolsonaro, 27 years in prison and in addition to that he
00:11:53has the blessing of the United States which from this point of view is very
00:11:57important because the army in particular Brazilian
00:12:00needs the United States to be on the
00:12:04side of the coup plotters to be able to support all
00:12:07that, like his father, he is very close to the evangelical
00:12:11churches which have a considerable weight in Brazil, they have a
00:12:14considerable weight in Brazil, uh more than 30% of the population
00:12:18is now evangelical, but above all very
00:12:21quickly, well over the last 10 years, evangelicals have been. very
00:12:25linked to the very conservative party to
00:12:28Bolsonaro, with a network of pastors who are
00:12:31themselves great influencers on social
00:12:34networks, all of whom manage to have a huge impact on their vote,
00:12:38and on the side of the workers' party he has a great difficulty in discussing
00:12:41with this population, this is one of Bolsonaro's successes, it is precisely
00:12:45to have succeeded in putting forward societal values, as your
00:12:49colleagues said, and not to push these people to ask themselves the
00:12:52questions of how it will be day to day because you can be evangelical but you are
00:12:55poor evangelical, poor evangelical, you have to know that an
00:12:59election of Flavio Bolsonaro,
00:13:03campaign, will mean an increase in unemployment, it will mean a more
00:13:06expensive birth, it will mean an explosion of
00:13:10fires in the Amazon, it will mean less good
00:13:13health protection uh fewer workers' rights
00:13:16uh so
00:13:19Lula failed by refusing the debate among other things uh
00:13:23to make...
00:13:25Flavio Bolsonaro had to speak on all these subjects, no one told Flavio
00:13:29Bolsonaro, what are you going to do about the proposal to limit
00:13:32work to 5 days a week which is Lula's proposal who will obviously
00:13:36be against it, no one told him what are you going to do about the
00:13:39increase uh in the minimum wage which is very important
00:13:43because it also has an impact on retirees in
00:13:45Brazil as long as people are not confronted with the reality of
00:13:49proposals we are always in a societal discourse and this
00:13:53societal discourse in Brazil as in the world.
00:13:55it's the far right that is winning it currently, it's unfortunate, but it's a fact, and
00:13:59yes, and positions that are very reminiscent of Donald
00:14:02Trump's, and for good reason, the two families are very close, which is
00:14:06why an election is particularly scrutinized on the American side, Mathieu
00:14:09Mabin, between the Trump and Bolsonaro families, the
00:14:13proximity is political obviously, but also
00:14:16personal. Eduardo Bolsonaro, the candidate's brother
00:14:19installed in the United States, maintains ties with the
00:14:23American administration. he who accompanied Flavio to the
00:14:27White House last May, but beyond courtesy,
00:14:31obviously, for Washington, this friendship would have very concrete
00:14:34advantages. Getting closer to Brazil also means facilitating
00:14:38access to its strategic minerals to obviously reduce American
00:14:41dependence on China. And for Brazil, the
00:14:44prospect of lower taxes, this time on ethanol for
00:14:48example, is also an important issue. Now,
00:14:51it will not have escaped you. Donald Trump is not
00:14:55openly campaigning and for once, remains
00:14:59quite discreet in this second round campaign in
00:15:02Brazil. In fact, American pressures on Brazil in recent
00:15:06times have allowed Lula to position himself as a defender of national
00:15:10sovereignty. For the Bolsonaros, Trump's
00:15:13support is therefore precious, but on the strict
00:15:16condition that it does not become cumbersome between the two
00:15:20rounds.
00:15:22La miaou à la lou, Donald Trump does not get votes in... Brazil, the
00:15:25United States remains an imperialist and
00:15:28encroaching neighbor, there is an expression in Brazil, we say that Brazil is
00:15:32too big to be in anyone's backyard, so in
00:15:35fact there is something humiliating for Brazilians, even the most
00:15:39modest, to be to be seen as
00:15:42as Venezuela, we see what happened in Venezuela which has in fact become
00:15:46practically a protectorate of the United States where they literally loot
00:15:50where the United States literally loots resources and
00:15:54natural resources, we know very well that Brazil has that the
00:15:57United States has an eye on rare earths in particular but not only on
00:16:01many other sources and this desire to keep
00:16:04China away from Brazil, which
00:16:08simple afterwards because the Brazilian companies now their
00:16:12first uh partner is China in fact so we are not going to
00:16:16transform that overnight we imagine that the customs surtaxes imposed
00:16:20by the United States have not made Donald Trump more
00:16:23sympathetic in the eyes of Brazilians yet it is precisely
00:16:27in response to the condemnation of Jair Bolsonaro that the
00:16:31American president put in place these customs barriers yes then
00:16:34in the eyes of the vast majority of Brazilians that made
00:16:38Trump popular obviously and that's why now he is keeping a low profile, on
00:16:41the other hand it is a very clear signal for the
00:16:44financial powers in Brazil for the Brazilian elites and for
00:16:48the Brazilian army to say I am on the side of the one who stages a
00:16:51coup d'état I am on the side of the one who will give all his
00:16:55resources and a part of the Brazilians agree with that
00:16:58those who have a lot of money there are many who say I don't care I'll move to
00:17:02Miami tomorrow but for the vast majority of Brazilians it is obviously unpopular
00:17:06now we can't campaign. on the question of sovereignty, it's still
00:17:10day-to-day the daily life of Brazilians that weighs on them, the fact
00:17:13that people have to work two or three jobs, the fact that there is a
00:17:18employment, that's what is the
00:17:22campaign, while saying everything they have done very
00:17:24positively, but on the one hand over 25 years, it is still very very
00:17:28long, but without recognizing the daily suffering of people
00:17:32and and not recognizing the failure that for example on crime which is a
00:17:35fact, a victory. poirin of Flavio Bolsonaro would
00:17:39consecrate in any case the Monroe doctrine
00:17:42transformed since into Donro by Donald Trump by making
00:17:45the last great country of South America
00:17:48still on the left, isn't that Dalila Gomerie
00:17:52a real blue wave that we have been witnessing
00:17:55since 2022 out of 19 Latin
00:17:59American countries, 12 have shifted to the right or even the far
00:18:02right, their common point is a rejection of traditional parties
00:18:06of very polarized societies that
00:18:10adhere to a radicalized political discourse
00:18:13with a return of conservative ideas and all this also comes
00:18:17at a time when several countries in the
00:18:20region are renewing their ruling elites
00:18:23and where populist parties are surfing precisely
00:18:26right-wing populist parties are surfing on the left's failure in the face of the
00:18:30economic crisis or in the face of crime, the
00:18:32shift very much to the right we saw with
00:18:36Javier Miley. in Argentina, it is
00:18:39the example to follow for many Latin American countries, moreover he
00:18:43dreams of being a leader of the right in Latin
00:18:46America, he seeks to impose himself as a figurehead of this
00:18:50blue wave that is sweeping the continent, uh Javier Milet
00:18:53supports all right-wing populist candidates, we saw it with Flavio
00:18:57Bolsonaro with whom he launched his
00:19:01campaign by the way because he hopes to see Brazil
00:19:05also shift and join. ultimately the
00:19:08shield of the Americas so dear to Donald Trump,
00:19:12a victory for Flavio Bolsonaro would be a strategic,
00:19:15ideological victory for Donald Trump, because Brazil,
00:19:19as we know, is the largest country in Latin America, it is also the first economic power on the
00:19:23continent, and it is above all the last bastion against the
00:19:26Monroe doctrine, which allows the
00:19:29United States to why not keep its
00:19:33Latin American sphere of influence, especially to
00:19:38influence of China. La miaou à la lou, you were telling us just now about
00:19:41Brazilians jealous of their sovereignty, yet
00:19:45displaying oneself alongside the enemy brother from Argentina, who moreover
00:19:48is embodied by Javier Milley, a figure hated by a whole part of
00:19:51Brazilians. Is it not still risky, plus Donald Trump
00:19:55anyway? I think that for again, the majority of people who
00:19:59vote do not have these images in mind, so you have to see, it is a country of
00:20:02220, 230 million inhabitants, it is 16 times France, people are very
00:20:06poorly informed. everything goes through loops, whatsapp, uh,
00:20:09instagram and others, so this is more a sign for
00:20:13the United States, for uh between diplomats, for everyone to choose
00:20:17their side, more than truly for
00:20:19the population, this political interest uh, for
00:20:23Brazil, is not disinterested with Donald Trump, we heard Mathieu Mabin, uh, he
00:20:27also has today, a bit like Venezuela, the desire uh, to
00:20:31shamelessly defend the economic interests of the United States, starting
00:20:34with of course, the minerals, the strategic
00:20:38resources that Brazil abounds in, yes exactly, that's what we said, that is to say that the
00:20:41cost will be very high for Brazilians if Flavio wins because
00:20:45the support that Donald Trump gave
00:20:48and which is real. he had
00:20:52money given to all groups for example who attack the Supreme Court, it's not
00:20:56nothing, officially, this support
00:20:59he will want something in return and the
00:21:02probable weakness of the quality of the people who will be around Flavio
00:21:05Bolsonaro will make him even more dependent on the United States, there will also be a
00:21:09cost for the environment, deforestation, we imagine in the Amazon, huge cost for
00:21:12the environment and that is irreversible,
00:21:16under the Lula years it collapsed but what was burned is burned.
00:21:20and it's a problem, we often say that it's the lung of the world which supports
00:21:24Brazilians because we give them a responsibility they don't want to have, but
00:21:27it's still true, it's the lung of the world so if we shift there but
00:21:31all this is a logic of after me the deluge and then of we are
00:21:35a caste in truth of very very rich people, we settle in
00:21:39Patagonia we settle in Miami, we settle here and
00:21:42there, the world can burn, uh we can have
00:21:46droughts everywhere, it's not very serious, what is serious
00:21:49is that... those who will suffer the most vulnerable today do not understand it and
00:21:53vote for these people. the environment is a
00:21:56issue on which the outgoing president's record is contrasted with a spectacular
00:22:00drop in deforestation, but concessions made to agribusiness in the
00:22:03oil sector. Lula also has results in the reduction of
00:22:07unemployment and the fight against poverty, but Brazil remains deeply
00:22:11unequal. among the poorest, many did not vote.
00:22:13voter.
00:22:17tant credo Neves, the largest favela in the state... of
00:22:20Bahia at the gates of the capital Salvador, it's in these
00:22:24maze-like alleys that Maria das Graças, 61
00:22:27years old, has lived for over 25
00:22:29years, in this house that is barely
00:22:33standing. Her fridge has just
00:22:37broken down. "I put the food in this bucket while
00:22:40waiting, barely enough to survive." And yet, if
00:22:44this former recycler manages to have a roof over her head and food each
00:22:48month, it's thanks to an allowance...
00:22:58120 euros per month, and for a few months now, the
00:23:01right to a free gas bottle, a small
00:23:05miracle for Maria.
00:23:08"As long as I can remember, I have voted for Lula all my life. If I didn't have
00:23:11all this, I wouldn't have the strength to work anymore, so what would
00:23:15become of me?" Despite a record drop in extreme
00:23:19poverty,
00:23:50to vote, I am
00:23:51undecided.
00:23:54To be honest, I don't know who to trust anymore. In recent weeks,
00:23:58the far-right candidate Flavio Bolsonaro has multiplied his
00:24:01travels in the north to court this disappointed electorate. Lula
00:24:05still maintains a considerable lead in
00:24:08Bahia.
00:24:11La Mialou, 21% of voters did not go to the polls,
00:24:15yet voting is mandatory in Brazil. There are those disappointed with the Workers'
00:24:18Party to mobilize for the second round. Yes, no doubt, because we have never had such
00:24:22a proportion, uh, after all, not everyone
00:24:26will go to vote, and a part could also be
00:24:29interested in Flavio because he has an effect, uh, in
00:24:32particular in Brazil, of being with the one who wins. So the fact that the polls put
00:24:36him in the lead, the fact that he won so many governorships,
00:24:39senators, deputies plays in his favor. Now, indeed,
00:24:43he has, for this particular population, the most
00:24:46vulnerable, to make them understand, as it happened in other elections. Difficult
00:24:50in Brazil for Lula in 2006 or 2014 for
00:24:53Dilma, perhaps I'm not making you dream, but this is what you will lose, and
00:24:57they have a lot to lose with Flavio, they have a lot to lose in terms of social policy because
00:25:01they already saw it with his father, they have a lot to lose in terms of access
00:25:05to medication, in terms of access to university, equality between
00:25:08black and white, well, the indigenous people, let's not even talk about them, who are
00:25:12completely second-class citizens, exactly second-class citizens in
00:25:16Bolsonaro's vision, so to make
00:25:19them understand... okay, I don't make, this president doesn't
00:25:23make people dream anymore, maybe it was too long, as you said at the beginning, is it perhaps one election
00:25:26too many? Now, Mr.
00:25:29Bolsonaro, the cost for these people will be
00:25:33gigantic, that's what's most dramatic, and if
00:25:36today it's Flavio Bolsonaro who threatens to dislodge Lula from the
00:25:40Palácio do Planalto, it's because his father, Jair
00:25:43Bolsonaro, tried 3 years ago to overthrow by force the one
00:25:48presidential election. A look back at these events in
00:25:51pictures.
00:25:54A surreal scene, euphoric Brazilian protesters
00:25:57occupy the federal Senate and sing the national
00:26:00anthem.
00:26:02Supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro break down the doors of the
00:26:06Congress, entering the main seats of
00:26:09power. In a few hours, everything is ransacked, including here in
00:26:13the presidential palace. It is 2 PM in Brazil, when the
00:26:17crowd heads for the Three Powers Square. This is where the
00:26:21National Congress, the Supreme Court, and the presidential
00:26:24palace are located. The esplanade is blocked off, but the
00:26:27protesters easily force their way through the police
00:26:29barriers. In a few minutes, they reach the
00:26:33heart of Brazilian power. The protesters still refuse to
00:26:37recognize Jair Bolsonaro's defeat in the last
00:26:41presidential election. "We don't think the elections were
00:26:44democratic. There are several indications of fraud, of
00:26:48corruption."
00:26:50A few hundred Bolsonarists enter the seats of
00:26:54power, with no apparent
00:26:57enforcement.
00:27:00We have to wait until around 5 PM for the riot police to start
00:27:04taking things back in hand. "We believe there was
00:27:07a lack of security, and I want to tell you that all those who did this will be
00:27:11found." In the evening, law enforcement
00:27:15drives out the last supporters of Jair Bolsonaro. Several hundred
00:27:19people are arrested. Brazil wonders if it has experienced
00:27:22an organized coup attempt.
00:27:24There is a risk for Brazilian democracy
00:27:28in case of the election of Flavio Bolsonaro.
00:27:31A return perhaps to a military dictatorship as Brazil
00:27:35experienced for nearly 40
00:27:39Jair Bolsonaro himself openly expresses nostalgia, not
00:27:43for a return to military dictatorship, but in any case, for a return to
00:27:47very, very harsh authoritarian policies claimed and put forward, with
00:27:51this time, in addition to the previous mandate, the support of a much stronger Congress, much more on their side, and
00:27:54above all, no longer having the safeguard that was democratic
00:27:58United States. So now they have the support, on the contrary, of pro-coup
00:28:02Trump. and pro-authoritarian
00:30:07We are still together on France 24, headlining news from around
00:30:10the world. At least 12 dead and more than
00:30:14the attack against Riyadh airport yesterday Saturday.
00:30:18It is attributed to Houthi rebels by Saudi authorities. This
00:30:21Sunday, pro-Iranian fighters warn travelers not to
00:30:25use Saudi airports.
00:30:28Headlining in India, the leaders of the Kafa movement released.
00:30:32They had been arrested the day before, ahead of a demonstration in New
00:30:35Delhi. The organizers call for continuing the protest in the streets.
00:30:52This is the deadliest attack committed in Saudi Arabia in over 10
00:30:56years. At least 12 people were killed, 309.
