The Spin

Left narrative

Justice de Moraes' demand for explanations is a necessary judicial oversight to ensure compliance with court orders. Apparently, police allowed Bolsonaro — now a coup convict — to violate his immediate return requirement and take part in a small rally outside the hospital. Strict control over house arrest conditions is key to preserving the integrity of legal proceedings.

Right narrative

This is just the latest example of judicial persecution against Bolsonaro — now through excessive micromanagement of his hospital visit for medical care. Brazilian Justice Luiz Fux pointed out that the emperor has no clothes in his dissenting vote in the coup trial, exposing the political lawfare campaign against the right-wing leader.
