[3] Just allegations with no substantiality.
[4] He has an injunction that allows him to "censure" people and media in regards to the 2022 election. It was approved by the whole SJ court.
The article I’ve linked lists are least five reasons his actions are illegal, with the respective citations explaining why they are illegal. Just because you chose to ignore that, doesn’t make it unsubstantiated.
> He has an injunction that allows him to "censure" people and media
At least you admit Brazil is under a censorship regime. Dictatorships are always backed by the law.
By the way, any injunction that contradicts the constitution is by definition illegal.
The old government and its pawns tried a violent coup and failed. Now they must pay for the crimes they committed. There's not much more than that.
What an absolute joke of a person. Says whatever fits him best at any given moment, while pretending to be a champion of free speech.
The guy planned a violent coup and failed. He couldn't get the all military branches to back him, just one. There's plenty of evidence and a long list of crimes.
He knows he's going to jail and with him the dreams of the extreme right.
To me all of this sounds like the dying scream of a cornered beast.
Lie.
> There were people blocking roads and camping on military bases asking for a coup.
Is camping and asking for a thing a crime? What is the crime?
> There was an invasion to the congress and to the SJ building by people asking for a military coup.
Vandalism is not the same as a coup attempt.
> There are confessions from military generals that Bolsonaro approached them to back his coup attempt.
Lie. He approached them about declaring emergency state. This is a constitutional measure. Dilma did the same thing, by the way.

Even the jailed people in the coup attempt confessed that their intent there was trying to prevent the elected president to govern, several of them were very vocal supporting a military dictatorship.

You are the one lying. Some people involved, like Tenent Mauro Cid and the army commander Marco Antônio Freire Gomes, delated Bolsonaro and confirmed the coup attempt.
What does this have to do with anything the former president did?
> Even the jailed people in the coup attempt confessed that their intent there was trying to prevent the elected president to govern
Really? How? With Brazilian flags and bibles?
> several of them were very vocal supporting a military dictatorship.
Vocal support of something does not make one guilty of a coup. There are many vocal supporters of a communist dictatorship in Brazil. Should they go to jail?
> Tenent Mauro Cid and the army commander Marco Antônio Freire Gomes, delated Bolsonaro and confirmed the coup attempt.
Didn't the supreme court recently say plea bargains were an instrument of torture in the 21st century? ;)
Mauro Cid also said in leaked conversations that he was forced talk about things he didn't know about and that the Supreme Court already has a sentence ready, before the end of the investigations. Multiple justices have given interviews about their conclusions before the judgement. Who is going to investigate this?
This whole thing is farce sustained by corrupt courts, corrupt media and bought out rubber stamp media.
Article 286 - Inciting, publicly, the commission of a crime: Penalty - imprisonment, from three to six months, or a fine. Sole Paragraph. The same penalty applies to anyone who publicly incites animosity between the Armed Forces or between them and the constitutional powers, civil institutions, or society. (Included by Law No. 14,197, of 2021)
That's why the extreme right hates him and persecuted him until he was illegally jailed. He was so popular that they were afraid that he would be able to install a communist government in Brazil.
But Lula is just a populist. He's center left and friends with all big bankers. He's far from a communist. But he's no angel.
