By The Conversation The storming of the three main symbols of the Brazilian republic – the supreme court, the national congress and the presidential palace – is the kind of event that could shape the country's history.

This is a story that starts around 2018, when Jair Bolsonaro – then a lackluster congressman known for supporting the military dictatorship and publicly praising notorious torturers – lau...

By The Conversation Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has achieved a remarkable political comeback by regaining the presidency of Brazil. His narrow victory, in the second round run-off, was the closest margin of victory in an election since Brazil reverted to democracy in the late 1980s. The result was 50.9% for Lula and 49.1% for the incumbent president, Jair Bolsonaro – a difference of little more than 2 million votes out of almost 119 million valid votes cast. Lula is now set for a third term, 12 years after ending his second term as an unusually popular president who achieved both economic growth...

The loggers had bulldozed a trail over the mahogany and cedar saplings she had planted, and blocked the creeks her community relied on for drinking water and fish.

María Elena Paredes, as head of the Sawawo Hito 40 monitoring commi...

Last month, first lady Michelle Bolsonaro told an evangelical church service that the presidential palace had been "consecrated to demons" under previous presidential administrations – a gibe against former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, commonly known as Lula, and his center-left Workers' Party. Lula is running again in this year's election, whose first round is Oct. 2, 2022, and has joined the fray. In his official campaign kickoff in August 2022, fo...
