According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.mercopress.com\/2021\/09\/08\/bolsonaro-speaks-against-stf-judge-de-moraes-during-brazil-s-independence-day-celebrations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MercoPress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, reports indicate that his support nationwide is dwindling, with national opinion polling placing him in the 22 to 30 percent approval range, with elections being scheduled for next year. Bolsonaro\u2019s well-known military support also seems to be fracturing, with high-ranking General and Vice President <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hamilton Mourao <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">refusing to participate in Bolsonaro\u2019s rally in Brasilia last Thursday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Opposition support has historically centered around the administration\u2019s mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2021\/7\/24\/out-bolsonaro-more-brazil-protests-over-covid-crisis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains. Protest turnout in support of the opposition\u2019s calls for impeachment has faltered, however, especially considering the outpouring of support for Bolsonaro\u2019s presidency in counter-rallies across the country this past week. Notably, presidential favorite and poll-leader L<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">uiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva\u2019s party did not participate in the impeachment protests, writes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/health-coronavirus-pandemic-brazil-impeachments-jair-bolsonaro-bcc398f2d0d65855a6700d472cf39ce4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Associated Press.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bolsonaro\u2019s supporters have held their own, with increasingly fervent protests that included a push towards the Brazilian Supreme Court on September 14, resulting in the teargassing of pro-government supporters trying to take their message to the court itself. Thousands of fans clogged the streets of Rio and Brasilia on Sept. 9, Brazil\u2019s National Independence Day, in support of what they view as a last stand against left-wing tyranny. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/the-americas\/2021\/09\/11\/jair-bolsonaro-fires-up-his-fans-by-attacking-judges\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Economist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that attendance included over 120,000 supporters and the event featured an appearance and speech by Bolsonaro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI have three alternatives in the future: being arrested, getting killed or victory,\u201d Bolsonaro said, continues the Economist, before calling for the removal of Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes, one of his most vocal rivals. Moraes is spearheading an investigation into alleged spread of disinformation by Bolsonaro\u2019s administration, following a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/progressive.international\/wire\/2021-09-06-we-are-gravely-concerned-about-the-threat-to-brazils-democratic-institutions\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">letter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> published Sept. 13 by over 150 worldwide political leaders and former heads of state. The letter called Bolsonaro\u2019s protests and the actions of his supporters an \u201cimminent threat to Brazil\u2019s democratic institutions,\u201d one that they \u201cstand vigilant to defend\u2026 ahead of 7 Sept. and after.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2021\/09\/05\/bolsonaro-september-7-brazil-trump-january-6\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2021\/09\/05\/bolsonaro-september-7-brazil-trump-january-6\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Intercept<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> describes that some commentators have remarked on the similarities of Bolsonaro\u2019s rallies towards the Supreme Court to the January 6 protests at the United States Capitol, citing the similarity between the Bolsonaro\u2019s and Donald Trump\u2019s inflammatory rhetoric in the days leading up to each event. Bolsonaro\u2019s platform of halting the censorship of free speech and freeing so-called political prisoners mirrors the rhetoric of populist leaders such as Mario Salvini of Italy\u2019s Five Star League and the former Trump presidency, the Intercept continues. The Bolsonaro administration\u2019s strategy seems to hinge on learning from the perceived mistakes of populist gold-standard Donald Trump. Bolsonaro has successfully coalesced his voter base, including truckers and other vital sectors of the economy, into ardent supporters who act on his word. A truck driver\u2019s strike successfully rose the price of livestock feed to critical levels on Bolsonaro\u2019s order, before eventually standing down, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/americas\/bolsonaro-meet-with-striking-brazil-truckers-ministry-says-2021-09-09\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reports Reuters.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bolsonaro continues to cast opposition protesters as pawns of left-leaning and establishment political parties, vying for a regime change and the re-instatement of former president Da Silva. Inciting ever more enraptured cheers by his supporters, his increasingly haranguing speeches are being monitored closely by opposition leaders. The New York Times reports that these opposition leaders fear his provocation of doubt about Brazilian electoral integrity could create a tenuous situation if Bolsonaro contests a loss in the 2022 elections as illegitimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Calls for impeachment are still on the table, however. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/health-coronavirus-pandemic-brazil-impeachments-jair-bolsonaro-bcc398f2d0d65855a6700d472cf39ce4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that over 130 requests for impeachment have been filed since Bolsonaro assumed the office. However, the likely opposition strategy hinges on a push for winning the 2022 elections, instead of risking an unsuccessful impeachment attempt.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, the conservative populist who has been president of Brazil since 2016, is under challenge, as opposition protests held across the country this week are calling for his impeachment.
