The worldwide rise of fascism continues, with Brazil only the latest example:
Mr Bolsonaro’s pledge to fight crime and corruption following a string of scandals have won him mass support.
However critics are worried by his praise of Brazil’s former dictatorship, and by his comments on race, women and homosexuality.
In one infamous incident in 2015 he told a fellow lawmaker she was too ugly to rape.
Mr Bolsonaro’s controversial comments, his pro-gun stance and his populist approach to politics have led to some media dubbing him “Trump of the Tropics”.
What’s truly terrifying is sitting here wondering whether any country will escape this epidemic. When persecuted people inevitably need to escape, will there be anywhere left for them to go?
