18:21I would like to know of the defendant, Mr. Bolsonaro believes that he acted within the framework of the Constitution, when after disagreeing with a court order, he summoned the commanders of the armed forces to debate it.
18:41Far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro started off calmly during his nearly two hours on the stand, but most journalists and analysts who covered the proceedings believe that, as the questions got more complicated, he began to lose his cool and sabotaged his own defense.
18:56Why the armed forces commanders, we had the same education, we went to the academy, we had the same training, the military are always with you in your good and bad moments, I was in no mood to invite anyone to discuss anything, they were the only ones left who could listen to me let off steam.

From this moment, the defendants will have a period of 15 days to develop and present their final arguments to the court.
