Will pensions unite the Left against Bolsonaro?
It has to be said. The Brazilian Left today lacks co-ordination and mobilization, both in Congress and in civil society. So far, President Jair Bolsonaro has been his own strongest opponent.
His government spends more time creating ‘facts’ for social media to keep its far-right constituency constantly excited than building a congressional alliance to enable the passage of major bills.
