Bolsonaro’s
extremist party, and others aligned with his ideology, took over
Brazilian politics, winning at all levels, and in most regions, with
a wave that was as engulfing as it was unexpected.
And what
makes all of this particularly remarkable is that it happened in a
country that prior to this year – in four consecutive national
elections beginning with 2002 — had elected the Workers’ Party
led first by a firebrand labor leader (Lula) and then by a former
Marxist guerilla who was imprisoned and tortured for taking up arms
against the country’s military dictatorship (Dilma).
How did
that happened?
Glenn
Greenwald spoke with two Brazilian journalists with The Intercept
Brasil, Bruna de Lara and Victor Pougy, to shed light on this
critical issue.
