Jair Bolsonaro’s trial shows Brazil a way out from polarisation and stagnation

 

 "And now, though there is a possibility that Mr Bolsonaro’s supporters could rally around a new figure on the hard right, there are signs that Brazil is tiring of him and his family, and that Brazilians are weary after a decade of political upheaval. If he is found guilty, the country, divided though it is, could put the worst of the polarisation behind it. There is a growing consensus across the political spectrum of the need to restore the balance of power between the branches of government and to tackle Brazil’s economic weaknesses. If Brazil can find a path towards this destination, it will not only save itself another decade of strife, but perhaps show a way out of populism for others to follow."
