Lula's 'extraordinary victory' faces growing middle class, deeply-entrenched bolsonarismo & Big Tech

Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Dr Felipe Krause, Political Scientist, former Diplomat and Departmental Lecturer in Latin American Studies at the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies.  Beneath Lula's electoral triumph lies a more complex political reality: the Brazilian right has consolidated its influence across state governments and legislative institutions, raising fundamental questions about the balance of power and the future of progressive governance. 'There is more need for economic measures that support growing middle class,' Dr. Krause explains. 'He's going to be working to keep things from eroding rather than actually managing to advance on many of these important agendas such as the environment."
