January 20, 2023 | On January 8, 2023, Brazilian democratic institutions came under attack from a group of former president Jair Bolsonaro’s supporters protesting the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who assumed office a week earlier after a contentious election rife with misinformation. What is the state of democracy in Brazil, and how did Lula’s government respond to the incident? What are the medium-term implications for governability in Brazil of the increase in polarization over the last decade? How will this attack impact Lula’s policies on food insecurity, education inequality, and the climate crisis amid slow economic growth and a Congress controlled by a conservative majority? To address these questions, the Georgetown Americas Institute welcomed Monica de Bolle, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, and Matias Spektor, associate professor at the Brazilian Institute of International Relations at Fundação Getulio Vargas, for a conversation about the state of affairs in Brazil and what to expect from the new administration of Lula da Silva. The discussion was moderated by GAI Founding Director Alejandro Werner.
