The election of Jair Bolsonaro in October 2018 surprised many observers. This presentation argues that Bolsonaro’s election was only possible due to a confluence of several severe and simultaneous crises, including a massive economic recession, a corruption scandal, the political polarization following the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in 2016, and a worsening of public security. The presentation also analyzes trends and issues emerging in Bolsonaro’s first 100 days in office.
