Brazil"s left-wing President, Lula da Silva, has vetoed a law that would have reduced the sentence of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The proposed legislation would have also benefited others convicted in connection with the January 2023 riots, including over 100 individuals currently imprisoned for their roles in the unrest.
This decision comes amid ongoing political tensions in Brazil following the events of January 2023, when riots erupted in response to the presidential election results. The veto reflects Lula"s administration"s stance on accountability for those involved in the coup plot and related disturbances.
