President Lula's new Brazil

Global Questions

Available for over a year

Brazil's new President Lula da Silva faces a multitude of crises – not least rebuilding and reunifying the country after the election battle with his far-right predecessor Jair Bolsonaro. In January, post-election violence erupted as Bolsonaro supporters attacked the heart of the Brazilian government – seen as a culmination of months of deepening political polarisation. The cost of living crisis continues to be a critical theme with rising poverty, desperation, and food insecurity in South America's largest economy. Global Questions travels to Rio de Janeiro where Lyse Doucet and a high profile panel take questions from a local audience.
