Brasilia, August 18 (RHC)-- At least 57.6 percent of Brazilians believe that President Jair Bolsonaro intends to stage a coup d'état in the country.  A survey conducted by the Opinion Institute of Congress in Focus reveals that only 11 percent think the right-wing leader will abide by democratic rules.
