The three commanders of Brazil's armed forces released a joint statement on Friday in which they said that the solutions to Brazil's disputes must come from the democratic rule of law, while also affirming the right to peaceful protest.
Their statement came amid concerns about the role of Brazil's armed forces, which ran a military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985, during this year's presidential election. Outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro, himself a former army captain, had sought to involve the military in questioning Brazil's electronic voting system.
