In today's international politics, various far-right groups and leaders have been gaining traction. From Poland to Spain, and now Brazil. It is significant that Brazil is protesting this candidate, Bolsonaro, because he had 58% of voters intentions compared to Haddad who had 42% of them. Even tho he currently has the majority and might be projected to win it is shocking with what groups he is against. He has been known to show anti-LGBT, against the Blacks and indigenous population of Brazil. He has also caused oil and electrical companies in Brazil to take a hit in their stock prices, saying that they would not benefit from the economic reforms he has in mind. The impact that this candidate has on IR is what he might say, having another irrational actor in the international system may cause more tension between Brazil and neighboring Latin American countries. One thing I do wonder is what our president thinks of Bolsonaro.
