As Bolsonaro Threatens to Criminalize Protests, a New Resistance Movement Is Emerging in Brazil

Brazil is continuing to reel from the election of far-right leader and President-elect Jair Bolsonaro, the former Army captain who won 55 percent of the vote Sunday, easily defeating Fernando Haddad of the leftist Workers' Party. As Bolsonaro prepares to take office in January, many fear Brazil's young democracy is now at risk. Bolsonaro, who has often praised Brazil's former military dictatorship that ended just 33 years ago, has promised to appoint many military officers to his Cabinet. We speak with Bruno Torturra, founder and editor of Studio Fluxo, an independent media outlet based in Sio Paulo, and James Green, professor of Brazilian history and culture at Brown University, about how the election will affect social movements, the environment and democracy across Latin America.
