Over the past seven years, Brazil has experienced several threats to its democracy. During the Bolsonaro administration, attacks on democratic institutions posed an increased risk to the country's stability, as the head of state directly supported demonstrations asking for a coup and perpetrated direct attacks against Brazil's electoral process.
In this event, promoted by the Vladimir Herzog Institute and the Washington Brazil Office, we will discuss the role of Brazilian civil society in resisting to attacks against Brazilian democracy in the domestic and international spheres.
The event will have simultaneous translation.
