The Spin

Left narrative

Brazil has further shown its commitment to protecting democracy and holding accountable whoever attempts to undermine its democratic institutions, which is a lesson to other countries facing similar challenges. Given that Bolsonaro has even confessed again to having discussed a coup, it's a matter of time before he is found guilty.

Right narrative

This is a politically motivated witch hunt designed to jail Bolsonaro ahead of next year's presidential election. The so-called coup plot is based on unreliable evidence, as there was no military support and no viable plan to seize control — at most, there was a riot in Brasília. Brazilian globalist elites will do anything to prevent Bolsonaro from returning to power.
