Brasilia, Aug 10 (EFE) (Camera: Alex Mirkhan).- The plenary session of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies buried this Tuesday by the majority the proposal sponsored by President Jair Bolsonaro to change the electronic voting system, as a result from which a serious institutional conflict has been unleashed.
Brazilian police officers leave the headquarters of Bolsonaro's Liberal Party with seized objects, one of the dozens of raids carried targeting suspects accused of orchestrating an invasion of the seat of power last year. The raids were authorized by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who also ordered that multiple suspects be suspended from public duties and surrender their passports within 24 hours. That included Bolsonaro, whose lawyer and adviser Fabio Wajngarten confirmed in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, that the far-right ex-army captain would comply with the order. IMAGES
