And the reason we are talking right now is because within the last few days, Mr Bolsonaro has been formally charged by Brazil's chief prosecutor with attempting a coup in 2022.

OK, there are clearly a fair number of hurdles, to say the least, to Jair Bolsonaro returning to power. We've been dancing, Ione, around these parallels with Donald Trump.

He did get the ban on standing in the next election lifted if he got past the charges that have been laid against him in the last few days over an alleged coup attempt. Is the popularity still there?

He may yet have a chance to make Brazil great again. Watch this space. Ione, thank you so much for guiding us through the fascinating Bolsonaro story. Great to talk to you.
