    Bolsonaro Demonstration

    Bolsonaro Demonstration

    In Sao Paulo, Brazil, on January 25, 2024, Helio Scheidegger, a city councilman for Rio Novo do Sul in Espirito Santo, who was elected in 2020 during Jair Bolsonaro's government, is questioning the electronic voting process that led to the former president's defeat two years ago. ''We have the benefit of the doubt because there was no transparency; why didn't they open the source code of the voting machines?'' the 59-year-old asks. Despite his concerns, the source code opening ceremony took place in 2021, and the device remained available for oversight bodies throughout that year, a practice that was repeated for the 2024 elections. After traveling for 12 hours to Sao Paulo, the councilman is criticizing what he refers to as the aberration of illegal arrests following the events on January 8. He is questioning the labeling of the incident as a coup without weapons and terrorism, and asserts, ''History will still show that the invasion of the Three Powers Square was orchestrated by the left.''
