Brazil: Bolsonaro’s coup commemorations prompt anger
Appeals court judge in Brazil overturns another judge’s decision to bar commemorations, sought by President Bolsonaro, of a 1964 military coup that established a 21-year dictatorship.
A decision by Brazil‘s President Jair Bolsonaro to reinstate commemorations of a military coup that happened 55 years ago has led to a controversy.
Bolsonaro says honouring history will unite the country. But survivors of the killing and torture campaign say what happened during the military rule should be condemned, not celebrated.
