Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro led a demonstration on June 29, 2025, in São Paulo's Avenida Paulista, drawing approximately 12,400 participants according to a University of São Paulo (USP) study. The rally, branded "Justiça Já" (Justice Now), was organized to protest Bolsonaro's ongoing trial before Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) on charges related to an alleged coup attempt following the 2022 presidential election. Supporters and politicians, including Tarcísio de Freitas, gathered to demand amnesty for Bolsonaro and his allies, who face accusations of attempting to overturn the election results. The event featured slogans such as "Make Brazil great again," echoing former U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign phrase, and included displays of symbols associated with Israel and Trump. The protest took place near the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP) and was marked by criticism of the judiciary and calls for support from the United States. Despite the turnout, the crowd size was smaller than a previous April 6 rally at the same location, which had attracted nearly 45,000 people shortly after Bolsonaro was formally charged by the STF. The demonstration tested Bolsonaro's current mobilization capacity and the loyalty of his political base ahead of the final stages of his legal proceedings.
