BRAZIL: Bolsonarismo movement faces setbacks and opportunities
The far-right populist ‘Bolsonarismo’ movement has faced some recent setbacks, with continued legal woes for its torchbearer, former president Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2023), and the start of a trial for other defendants in the coup plot to help him stay in power after losing the 2022 election. However, Brazil’s far right can perhaps take some comfort from recent polling data which has shown that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s approval ratings could be plateauing. Pollsters have also shown that the Brazilian public is showing increasing support for tough-on-crime approaches and forceful responses against organised crime, which are policy positions often backed by right-wing Bolsonaristas.
