Episode 007 "The Great Re-Match: Brazil's 2022 election between Lula, Bolsonaro and Social Media"

  • Summary

  • Brazil will elect a new president this October. Former president and workers party legend Lula da Silva squares off with right-wing incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. In this second of two special issues on Brazil I talk to the director of Rio de Janeiro's prestigious Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) Institute for Public Policy Analysis, Prof. Marco Aurelio Ruediger, and project coordinator Amaro Grassi. What is the state of Brazilian democracy. What are the reasons behind Bolsonaro’s victory in 2018? How polarized is the country today? Will social media play a similar role this fall as it did 4 years ago? How has the judiciary changed its approach to disinformation? What do the polls say? Might Brazil experience it’s own January 6th? And what is to be expected from a possible third Lula presidency? more about Democratic Futures: www.democraticfutures.de
