Brazil on the Brink: Perspective from Former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso

Latin America’s largest economy has endured years of economic hardship, a barrage of political scandals, and one of the worst pandemic death tolls in the world. So where does Brazil go from here and how much longer can its president hold onto power? Former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, who remains one of the most influential political figures in the country, joins Ian Bremmer to discuss Brazil’s increasingly divided society, the potential fate of its current far-right leader, the prospects of his most likely challenger (known to all as “Lula”) the climate crisis in the Amazon, and the country’s complicated relationship with China.  Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.
