Here is the real blow to democracy. The greatest expression of democracy is the right to vote and to be voted for.
Marcos Rogério: So, Mr. President, what President Trump did was point out what many people already see here in Brazil: there is a clear attempt to remove Bolsonaro from the electoral game, from the 2026 electoral contest, through judicial means.
Marcos Rogério: And history will record who fell silent in the face of this and who had the courage to tell the truth.
