'Brazil cannot move forward, and leave political violence behind, without holding Bolsonaro and his cronies to account,' wrote one journalist.
steps that Bolsonaro took during his four-year tenure to undermine democratic institutions, incite violence against those"not blindly supportive of his government," and ensure that the most dangerous sectors of his far-right support base had"easier access to weapons."
"All these efforts led to the 2022 elections being the most violent in Brazil's recent history with countless incidents of election-related intimidation, abuse of authority, aggression, and even a few cases of murder being recorded across the country," wrote Garcia."And since Bolsonaro definitively lost the election, there is no sign that the chaos and violence that engulfed the country will come to an end any time soon.
Such a process has already begun. Late last month, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who heads the country's electoral court, fined Bolsonaro's Liberal Party, as well as his former coalition partners Progressive and Republican parties, 22.9 million reais for insisting on a"bad faith" lawsuit challenging the election result.
"No fine can be a sufficient punishment for a president and a political movement that brought Brazil to the brink of collapse, but this is still an important step in the right direction," Garcia concluded."Brazil cannot move forward, and leave political violence behind, without holding Bolsonaro and his cronies to account for the pain they inflicted on the people."
