It was after four years of neo-fascist far-right government that the former metallurgist was re-elected as president of Brazil for his third term. If the hopes are high, the challenges are just as high.

The actions of 8 January 2023 mimic those of the horde of US neo-fascists two years later, almost like the same script. The invasion of thousands of Bolsonarists into the premises of the National Congress, the Supreme Court (STF) and the Planalto Palace, broadcast live on national TV network, (...)

To the extent that history repeats itself, it does so in spiral fashion, rather than exactly, and more often as tragedy than farce. Yesterday in Brasília, when a bolsonarista mob briefly invaded the Praça dos Três Poderes and vandalised Congress, the Supreme Court and the Presidential Palace (...)

The invasion of the National Congress, the Federal Supreme Court and the Alvorada Palace represents an attempted coup d’état.

Lula da Silva narrowly won the Brazilian presidential elections against Jair Bolsonaro on October 30 (51-49%). Yet, Bolsonarismo—the far-right ideology punctuated by fascist traits and enthusiastically supported by the higher ranks of the Armed Forces—continues as strong as ever. The left won (...)
