NGOn July 18, 2026, Brazil's Supreme Court ruled against Argentine President Javier Milei's request to visit former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest for plotting a coup. The court, led by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, denied the visit as part of a broader ban on political visits to Bolsonaro, citing violations of a social media restriction. Bolsonaro, currently serving a 27-year sentence for attempted coup charges, is barred from public office and cannot engage in political activities until after the October elections. His son, Flavio Bolsonaro, is set to be nominated as the conservative movement's candidate in those elections. The court's decision affects not only Milei's planned visit but also other potential visitors, including foreign diplomats and family members. Bolsonaro's legal team criticized the rulings as politically motivated, arguing they lack transparency.
