Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro is barred from running for office until 2030
In her decisive vote that formed a majority, Judge Carmen Lucia — who is also a Supreme Court justice — said "the facts are incontrovertible."
"We're going to talk with the lawyers. Life goes on," he said when asked what his next step would be. He called the ruling an attack on Brazilian democracy. "It's a rather difficult moment." Maria Maris, a 58-year-old engineer in Rio de Janeiro, celebrated the ruling, though said she suspects it may have been politically motivated.
The chairwoman of Lula's Workers' Party, Gleisi Hoffmann, said on her social media channels that Bolsonaro's ineligibility offers a teachable moment.
