A Brazilian court has ordered President Jair Bolsonaro to wear an ankle tag and imposed a curfew on him. The ruling came after a group of opposition lawmakers filed a lawsuit against Bolsonaro, accusing him of mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic and violating health protocols.
The court’s decision requires Bolsonaro to wear an ankle monitor that will track his movements and ensure he complies with the imposed curfew. The curfew restricts the president from leaving his official residence between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. every day.
Bolsonaro has strongly opposed the court’s ruling, labeling it as a politically motivated attack aimed at undermining his presidency. He has stated that he will appeal the decision and continue to govern the country as usual during the legal process.
On the other hand, the lawmakers who brought the lawsuit against Bolsonaro argue that the measures are necessary to hold the president accountable for his actions during the pandemic. They claim that Bolsonaro’s disregard for health guidelines has contributed to the high COVID-19 death toll in Brazil.
The court’s order to place an ankle tag on Bolsonaro and implement a curfew represents a significant escalation in the ongoing political tensions within Brazil. As the legal battle continues, the country remains divided over the president’s handling of the pandemic and the appropriate measures to address the crisis.
The outcome of Bolsonaro’s appeal and the broader implications of the court’s ruling remain uncertain as the situation unfolds.
