Part 7/14:

In addition to the indictment against Bolsonaro, a separate but equally alarming coup plot has been unveiled. This conspiracy appears to have originated within Brazil's military. On November 19, five military personnel, including a retired Brigadier General, were apprehended for orchestrating a plot known as "Green and Yellow Dagger." This plan targeted then-President-elect Lula and other high-ranking officials with the intent to assassinate them and reinstall Bolsonaro as president.

This additional plot underscores a troubling element in Brazil's political landscape, where former leaders' supporters appear willing to resort to violent means to reassert authority. While both coups may be distinct, they reflect broader concerns about the erosion of democratic norms in Brazil.
