Senator resigns and says Bolsonaro tried to carry out a coup
Senator Marcos do Val (Podemos) resigned from his position this Thursday (2). In the announcement, he also announced that the former president of the Republic tried to coerce him into staging a coup to continue as president of the Palácio do Planalto. “I was pissed when people called me a Bolsonarista.

And it’s logical that I reported it”, said the senator. (Folha de S. Paul)
