In São Paulo, he told tens of thousands of supporters that the accusations of a coup against him were a “lie”.
In addition, he demanded amnesty for hundreds of his supporters who had been found guilty of attacking public facilities.
Police are looking into if Mr. Bolsonaro encouraged a coup attempt that didn’t succeed following his loss in the 2022 election.
Speaking at a rally on Sunday in the biggest city in Brazil, the 68-year-old former president rejected the accusations made against him, calling them driven by politics.
He declared that it was time for Brazil to move on and let go of the past.
During his speech, he also discussed the upcoming 2026 presidential election.
Even though there is no proof of electoral fraud, Mr. Bolsonaro is nonetheless prohibited from running for office in Brazil for eight years for attacking the country’s electoral system.
