In a significant political move, Brazil's Congress has approved a bill aimed at reducing the prison sentence of former president Jair Bolsonaro. This decision comes after President Lula's veto was overturned.
The bill has successfully passed through both the Congress and the Senate, reflecting the support it garnered from Brazil's largely conservative legislative body.
The next step involves awaiting confirmation from the Supreme Court, which will determine the bill's final status and its implications for Bolsonaro's legal situation.
