His taste for a fight helped him in a large field of candidates during the presidential elections of 2018 in his country to be distinct, but now he finds himself cornered. Bolsonaro first political problem is that it has few reliable allies in the Brazilian Congress. He leads a recent party in power, often do not have an agenda consistent, and describes itself as a corruption fighter has rejected offers cozy with legislators from other parties designed to make, in order to advance his plans.

Thanks to its aggressive public posture, alignment of the President is not to blame if the public believes that its policies have cost lives. Finally, a serious economic impact is inevitable. Brazil’s economy is already suffering the loss of demand for its products from a slowdown in China, and the collapse of global oil prices has made matters even worse.
