Summary

Key insights
- Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean identifies Jair Bolsonaro as a representative of the continent's fascist far-right and asserts that his political strategy involves attacking established rights and liberties.
- The document claims that the 2016 coup against President Dilma Rousseff began a process of dismantling social victories, a trend expected to accelerate under Bolsonaro through policies imposed by transnational corporations, specifically oil and agro-industrial companies.
- The organization argues that Brazil is adopting methods used in Colombia and Honduras to suppress popular participation and depoliticize society, utilizing totalitarian religious sectors and the criminalization of political opponents.
- The election of Bolsonaro is seen as increasing the risk of a US-suggested military invasion of Venezuela, which the document claims is supported by the right-wing Colombian administration.
- In response to the regional crisis, the organization calls for the creation of an international anti-fascist front as part of the Continental Meeting for Democracy and against Neoliberalism (Jornada Continental por la Democracia y contra el Neoliberalismo).
