The Democratic Panorama in Latin America: Brazil
Democracies around the world will elect their government officials this year; besides the much-discussed upcoming Western democratic elections, like the US elections, Polis180 is dedicated to shedding light on democratic elections in other parts of the world too. Therefore, we are proud to present our new blog series titled „The Democratic Panorama in Latin America“, in which we report on the current state of Latin American affairs focusing on general elections. Today, let’s have a closer look at the state of Brazil’s democracy and the upcoming elections on the municipal level. We also examine what implications the results may have for the rest of President Lula’s current term.
