Brazil's Supreme Court began the trial of six defendants accused of drafting the 'minuta do golpe' — a document planning to keep Bolsonaro in power after his 2022 election defeat — including charges of plotting to assassinate President Lula and Vice-President Alckmin.

1. Jornal Educadora, produced by Rádio Educadora 90.9 in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, aired its December 9, 2025 edition presented by Victor Fernandes with production by Giovana Moraes. 2. The broadcast opens with a weather alert for strong winds (18 km/h) and rain in Uberlândia, with Victor Fernandes recounting witnessing a rear-end collision caused by a driver speeding on a wet road. 3. The episode's two main national stories — the STF 'minuta do golpe' trial and the CNH reform — both involve institutions reasserting control over crises created by past failures of governance and enforcement. 4. Brazil's Supreme Court (STF) began the trial of six defendants accused of drafting the 'minuta do golpe,' a document planning to keep Jair Bolsonaro in power after his defeat in the 2022 elections. 5. According to the Prosecutor-General (PGR), the six defendants managed the criminal organization's operations, including drafting exception measures, planning the assassinations of President Lula and Vice-President Geraldo Alckmin, and using the Federal Highway Police (PRF) to hinder voter movement on election day's second round. 6. The PGR is seeking conviction on five charges including attempted coup d'état and armed criminal organization; the trial began with Minister Alexandre de Moraes reading the case report. 7. The federal government launched a national driving license (CNH) reform at the Palácio do Planalto, targeting an estimated 20 million Brazilians who currently drive without a valid license due to cost and bureaucratic barriers. 8. The CNH reform includes a free digital technical course, more flexible practical classes, certified autonomous instructors, and a new CNH Brasil app; cost reductions of up to 80% are expected, with rules taking effect immediately. 9. União Brasil voted 24-0 to expel Tourism Minister Celso Sabino for 'party infidelity' after he reversed his resignation from the Lula government, choosing to remain as minister despite the party's directive that all members leave the executive. 10. Sabino is planning a 2026 Senate campaign and judged that staying in the Lula government would boost his profile and provide Lula's political support, leading him to accept expulsion rather than abandon the ministry. 11. Brazil enacted a new law increasing penalties for sexual crimes against vulnerable people: the base sentence for sexual abuse rises from 10 to 18 years, from 12 to 24 years if there is serious bodily harm, and up to 40 years if the victim dies — previously capped at 30 years. Convicted offenders must also wear electronic monitoring upon release. 12. Political analyst Danilo Caixeta assessed Flávio Bolsonaro's public announcement of a presidential candidacy as a family 'test of strength' rather than a serious bid, noting that Jair Bolsonaro's likely goal is to have Flávio organize the right's electoral map in 2026 while Bolsonaro himself remains barred from running. 13. Caixeta argues that Flávio lacks the cross-spectrum appeal of Jair Bolsonaro, would secure the radical base and anti-PT voters but struggle with moderate center-right voters — the electorate that Governor Tarcísio de Freitas of São Paulo is positioned to capture. 14. Uberlândia's city council approved the 2026 budget of R$5,420,298,100 without any of the 20 amendments to the Plurianual Plan or 16 amendments to the budget law, generating protests from opposition councilors including Batênio Marques, who objected to UN Agenda 2030 goals embedded in the PPA. 15. Brazil is studying raising import tariffs on cars and steel in 2026 to protect domestic industry from Chinese competition; the measure could generate R$14 billion in additional revenue, with the automotive sector requesting a return to the 35% maximum tariff rate. 16. Instituto Butantan's tetravalent dengue vaccine 'Butantan DV' received Anvisa registration; with 1 million doses ready and 30 million planned for next year, it will initially be offered via SUS to people aged 12-59. 17. The Central Bank's ProtegeMais tool — which blocks new account openings in a user's name — enrolled over 270,000 people in its first week after launching December 1, preventing over 11,000 fraudulent loan and account schemes. 18. Uberlândia announced a private investment of over R$5 billion from a local company for a new integrated urban neighborhood in the city's southern region, expected to generate 170,000 direct and indirect jobs. 19. Praia Clube's men's volleyball team lost to Renata Vôlei 3-0 in the Super Liga, dropping to third place with 23 points; the team now shifts focus to the Club World Cup debut on December 16 against Al Rayan of Qatar in São Paulo. 20. International coverage includes Ukraine's ceasefire negotiations with Zelensky meeting leaders from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom in London, and the United States signaling willingness to reduce tariffs on products it does not domestically produce in its ongoing negotiations with Brazil.
