Jair Bolsonaro's rise was unimaginable just a few years before his election to Brazil's presidency. With an impending showdown between the incumbent Bolsonaro and popular left-wing former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, many fear Bolsonaro may resort to a January 6-style coup to retain power. In this special limited podcast series from Latin America-based journalist Michael Fox, we’ll take listeners on a journey to understand Brazil’s turn toward fascism: Bolsonaro’s rise, his government that set the country ablaze, and how the US helped him do it.Produced in partnership by The Real News Network and the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA).The Real News Network: https://therealnews.comNACLA: https://nacla.orgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brazil-on-fire--5630445/support.
