BRAZIL: Unclear agenda ahead of Bolsonaro’s inauguration
In just a week and a half from now, on 1 January 2019, Jair Bolsonaro will become the 38th president of Brazil. His supporters see him as heralding positive change and the end of corruption; businesses hope he will bring about a market-friendly turn in Brazil; human rights defenders fear the erosion of civil liberties; and the international community is unsure what to expect from a man who has made the defence of Brazil’s national sovereignty his main cause, at the expense of environmental protection, existing diplomatic ties, and most international commitments.
