Simone Pitta: "With this first round you can see a consolidation of bolsonarism in Brazil"

Despite not having been in power in Brazil's last presidential period, and despite the allegations and convictions against former President Jair Bolsonaro for an attempted coup d'état, Bolsonarism managed to consolidate itself in the face of the elections on October 4. Now, Flávio Bolsonaro seeks to position himself as the new president of Brazil in a fight, in the shooting, with the current president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. What does this triumph mean for the electorate following Bolsonaro? We analyzed it with Simone Pitta, a lawyer and doctor in political science at the University of the Andes.

In a scenario marked by polarization in Brazil, the ultra-right candidate and political heir of his father, Flávio Bolsonaro, and the current president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is looking for a fourth term, are fighting the shooting.

To discuss the subject, we spoke with Juan Agulló, sociologist, doctor in Sociology for the École des Hautes Études in Social Sciences of Paris, France.

Lula and Bolsonaro go to the shooting: Is it possible to decrease the Brazilian state?

Following the election results in Brazil, which led to the shooting of the president and candidate of the left, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and the ultra-right-wing senator, Flávio Bolsonaro, the debate on the size of the state again becomes relevant, in a regional context where several countries discuss reducing their state apparatus. Bolsonaro has proposed to eliminate at least 10 ministries as part of his government plan. To discuss the subject, we spoke with José Luis Oreiro, professor at the Department of Economics at the University of Brasilia.

Brazil: the right of Bolsonaro is strengthened in the regions, with a victory in São Paulo

The local elections in Brazil were held on Sunday with a right-wing advance by President Flávio Bolsonaro and his allies. As the left of the president and candidate for re-election, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva lost ground. The most comfortable victory was in São Paulo, where the Bolshevik governor Tarcísio de Freitas won with wide advantage the re-election.

Flávio Bolsonaro cuts the polls: a small advantage, but a downhill scenario for Lula

Brazil was inclined towards the trend of return to the right that shakes Latin America, after the senator and son of former President Jair Bolsonaro took over almost two points to the left-wing Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the first round of the election. Lula has recognized the result as "unexpected" and promises that from now on "a new campaign" begins, but Bolsonaro's margin of manoeuvre to add through alliances and to drive on the right's roots is much greater.
