Tens of thousands in Brazil protested a bill that could cut Jair Bolsonaro’s prison time for the Jan. 8 insurrection, sparking fears for democracy.
Tens of thousands of Brazilians protested on December 14, 2025, in major cities against a congressional bill that would reduce former President Jair Bolsonaro’s prison sentence for his role in the January 8, 2023, insurrection.
The bill, passed by the lower house, would allow two convictions—attempting a coup and violent overthrow of the rule of law—to run concurrently, potentially cutting Bolsonaro’s over 27-year sentence to two years and four months, and easing parole conditions.
Protesters, including artists and left-wing groups, condemned the measure as an attempt to shield those who attacked government buildings in Brasilia, calling it a threat to democracy.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has signaled he would veto the bill, but its fate now rests with the Senate amid growing public backlash.
