Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro takes part in a motorcade rally with his supporters in Sao Paulo, despite criticism of his handling of the health crisis amid a surge in Covid-19 in Brazil. IMAGES
Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro arrives at the Sao Paulo rally he called to reject claims he plotted a coup with allies to remain in power after his failed 2022 reelection bid. Investigators say the far-right ex-army captain led a plot to falsely discredit the Brazilian election system and prevent the winner of the vote, leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, from taking power. A week after Lula took office on January 1, 2023, thousands of Bolsonaro supporters stormed the presidential palace, Congress and Supreme Court, urging the military to intervene to overturn what they called a stolen election IMAGES

Bolsonaro supporters begin dismantling a camp that had been set up since the day the left-wing Lula won the elections in Brazil at the end of October, in front of the military headquarters in southeast Sao Paulo, to protest against the new government. IMAGES
In Sao Paulo, thousands of pro-Bolsonaro protesters demonstrate near the military command centre, demanding their intervention after Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has "authorised" the transition to a new government, without acknowledging his defeat to leftist rival Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and called for "peaceful" protests.
