Briefings

Brazilian political analyst Felipe Krause, head of Oxford University's Brazilian Studies Programme, reports that the 2026 election resulted in a significant consolidation of the right in government. He describes the current political mood as 'tired polarization,' noting that voters feel the political class is offering the same policies repeatedly. The first round of voting has already shown that the expanding middle class is increasingly attracted to entrepreneurialism and individualism, constituencies that Bolsonaro's 'Bolsonarismo' has proven particularly effective at reaching.
