- Brazil’s congress approves bill reducing prison sentence of former president Jair Bolsonaro
Brazil’s congress and senate overturned President Lula’s veto of a bill reducing the prison sentence of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who was convicted of attempting a coup. The bill, initially passed in December, now awaits confirmation by the Supreme Court, with Lula’s veto symbolizing the anniversary of Bolsonaro supporters ransacking Brasília.
