Bolsonaro son to hold rallies as Brazil court crisis offers opening against Lula
SAO PAULO, Sept 7 -
asserted
crisis → hold → Lula
Brazil's opposition is set to take to the streets on Independence Day on Monday, as right-wing presidential hopeful Senator Flavio Bolsonaro seeks to capitalize on a crisis engulfing the country's Supreme Court to bolster his campaign against President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva ahead of next month's election.
asserted
Bolsonaro → set → election
Organizers have cast the rally as a protest against Lula's government and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, whose aggressive pursuit of former President Jair Bolsonaro, the senator's father, over a coup plot that led to the former president's conviction has made him one of Brazil's most polarizing figures.

that → struggle → conduct
The feud erupted after Justice Andre Mendonca, a Bolsonaro appointee, disclosed a report raising questions about alleged contacts between Moraes and a banker accused of leading a multibillion-dollar fraud scheme, prompting calls for an investigation of the justice.
asserted
Mendonca → erupt → justice
Moraes responded by seeking an investigation into Mendonca for alleged abuse of authority.
asserted
Moraes → respond → authority
A large turnout on Monday could strengthen calls for investigations into Moraes.
uncertain
turnout → strengthen → Moraes
The controversy could also provide a boost to Flavio Bolsonaro, who has argued that his father, currently under house arrest and barred from running for office, is the victim of political persecution by Moraes.
uncertain
father → provide → Moraes
"Brazil has a unique opportunity to remove Alexandre de Moraes from the Supreme Court," said former lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, the senator's brother.
