In a recent episode of the podcast, The Take, it was revealed that Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, is seeking refuge from his legal troubles at home by forging connections with leaders of the international right. Bolsonaro’s passport was seized earlier this year and he turned to Hungarian embassy in Brazil for protection.
Political scientist Guilherme Casaroes from the Getulio Vargas Foundation shed light on the reasons behind Bolsonaro’s transnational relationships and their implications on his legal situation in Brazil. These international connections raise questions about potential political support for Bolsonaro and how it may impact his domestic affairs.
The episode was produced by Negin Owliaei with host Malika Bilal and fact-checked by Miranda Lin, Zaina Badr, and Manahil Naveed. Sound design was done by Alex Roldan, with Aya Elmileik leading audience development and engagement and Adam Abou-Gad as the engagement producer. Alexandra Locke serves as The Take’s executive producer, and Ney Alvarez is Al Jazeera’s head of audio.
