Trial of Brazil's ex-President Bolsonaro enters final phase

The trial of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has entered its final phase. Bolsonaro is accused of plotting a coup to remain in power after losing the 2022 presidential election. The charges stem from his claims of voter fraud and his encouragement of his supporters to take to the streets in protest. Prosecutors allege that Bolsonaro's actions were an attempt to subvert the democratic process and undermine the will of the Brazilian people. Bolsonaro has denied the allegations, claiming that he was simply exercising his right to freedom of speech and expression. The trial is a high-profile and politically charged event, with both supporters and critics of Bolsonaro closely following the proceedings. The outcome of the trial could have significant implications for the future of Brazilian politics and the stability of the country's democratic institutions.
