Do not put your money into Pix because Brazil's government has become extremely authoritarian and anti democratic, including jailing political opponents.

Oh boy here we go, the bolsonaristas are here to claim that Bolsonaro and his cronies definitely didn't try to overthrow the current government in favor of a military dictatorship and that there's definitely not a mountain of evidence pointing in that direction. Nope, it has to be some deep state commie conspiracy of course.

It was not Bolsonaro who was put in jail, it was his political opponent.

And he got out, using the same justice system, because of the irregularities of the arrest, not sure if it's an authoritarian indicative or just the justice system being terrible slow

Putting an elected president – current or former – in prison should never happen, in my opinion.
