A majority of judges on Brazil’s electoral court have voted to block former President Jair Bolsonaro from seeking public office for the next eight years, removing a top contender from the next presidential contest and dealing a significant blow to the country’s far-right movement.

The judges ruled that Mr. Bolsonaro had violated Brazil’s election laws when, less than three months before last year’s vote, he summoned diplomats to the presidential palace and made baseless claims that the nation’s voting systems were likely to be rigged.

I’m getting tired of so many good news after Lula got elected last year.

Inflation is down, exchange rates are better, gas prices stabilized, minimum wage is up and now Bolsonaro got barred from running again until 2031.

Congrats on the well deserved tiredness ;)

How is the rainforest and it's native people doing? Haven't heard about them in a while....

Only until 2031? Do you think he'll run again after he's allowed to?

If he manages to stay relevant until then for sure.
