Brazil’s Supreme Court Marks Jan. 8 Anniversary as PT Calls Brasília Rally

The day’s plans reflect a dual focus on public remembrance alongside continued legal accountability.

Overview

  • The Supreme Federal Court will host the program “Democracia Inabalada: 8 de janeiro – Um dia para não esquecer” on Thursday with an exhibition, a documentary screening, a media roundtable, and a closing panel starting at 2:30 p.m.
  • The Workers’ Party has called a 10:30 a.m. rally at Praça dos Três Poderes, and a new party video features President Lula urging Brazilians not to let January 8 fade from memory.
  • A year‑end STF tally cites 1,734 criminal actions tied to the attacks, with 810 convictions and 564 non‑prosecution agreements that produced more than 3 million reais in restitution.
  • Courts have secured convictions against Jair Bolsonaro and other participants for crimes related to the attempted coup after the 2022 election.
  • With the court in recess, President Edson Fachin will preside over the commemorative agenda, and rapporteur Alexandre de Moraes is expected to attend as additional cases advance and disputes over missing security footage remain in public debate.
