Jair Bolsonaro’s opponents look to momentous election to bring an end to far-right president’s ‘Brazilian catastrophe’
In his blistering political journals, the celebrated novelist Ricardo Lísias has excoriated the “Brazilian catastrophe” that has unfolded under its far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro. At nine minutes past eight on Sunday morning, the 47-year-old writer got his chance to help remove that catastrophe from power.
“He is a filthy, abhorrent person … he disgusts me,” Lísias said as he prepared to cast his vote for Brazil’s former president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, at a university near his home in São Paulo.
