Another populist president - Rise of the far right poses dangers

BRAZIL is the latest country to see political success ride the wave of populism. On the first day of the year, right-wing nationalist Jair Bolsonaro was sworn in as the country’s president.

Mr Bolsonaro said in his inaugural address that his country had been “liberated from socialism and political correctness” now that he has taken power, declaring: “We have a great nation to rebuild.”
