Bolsonaro's return to Brazil is eagerly awaited by his conservative Liberal Party [PL], which became the largest in the Brazilian Congress after the election last October. Costa Neto has said he expects Bolsonaro to become the leader of the right-wing opposition to leftist President Lula and lead his party into municipal elections next year, where the PL hopes to triple the number of its mayors across Brazil .
It resulted in detractors accusing Bolsonaro of undermining Brazil's democracy and encouraging the events.
