The Miami Herald, our best source for Latin American news, quotes the following Bolsonaro Tweet:
Reduce the number of ministries, get rid of and privatize state companies, fight fraud in (a popular social welfare program for low-income families) ... decentralize power giving more economic force to the states and municipalities.They characterize Bolsonaro's diagnosis of Brazil's problems in this fashion.
Bolsonaro often uses crime as a lens through which to sketch out a broad indictment of the left: What he calls its coddling policies toward the poor, marginalized and criminal and its push to protect the rights of minorities at what he says is the expense of the majority.A voice for the silent majority, when have we heard that concept before? Just about any time the majority feels their interests are being slighted, is when. The Herald doesn't like Bolsonaro, but he sounds good to our ears, and apparently to Brazil's too.
