Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro says he will be killed, arrested or re-elected

Unlike other ex-military political leaders, Bolsonaro retired from Brazil’s army at the rank of captain after 15 years of service. The far-right populist was elected the 38th president of Brazil in the 2018 election, after surviving a knife attack during his campaign. His stance on coronavirus, agricultural development in the Amazon rainforest, LGBT, and women have been widely criticized domestically and internationally. Over half a million Brazilians died of the coronavirus, the second-most in the world only after the US whose then-president undermined the novel virus as much as Bolsonaro. Now he is facing an election in October next year and worrying about his chance to win. He even predicts three alternatives for his future: arrested, killed, or elected, which clearly suggests he violated laws, abused his power, and giving promises to his supporters. Like his ex-counterpart in the US did, he most likely will not accept the election results if he loses. At least, he seems to know what people think of him.

Enjoy reading the article about this explicit comment by the Brazilian president.
