“It was very hopeful to see the letter from São Paulo, which has one million signatures in favor of democracy, with the cross-section of signatories from various sectors of society and politics. It was a powerful signal from Brazilian civil society. If there is an attempt like what happened, for example, with Bolivia in 2022, in which it was accused of fraud that was not, and a coup d'état was validated, Latin America has to react together to collaborate in prevention”, he said.

Did you find this statement made “out of nowhere” strange? Don't worry, this is the result of a dispute that started on Monday (29).
On that date, Chile summoned the Brazilian ambassador to Santiago to consultations in protest of statements made by President Jair Bolsonaro addressed to Gabriel Boric, whom he accused of “burning down the subway” in the 2019 protests.
