We like to say that "Brazil is not for beginners". Things here are messier than usual.

Please don't buy that narrative. It was the biggest Brazilian corruption scandal discovered ever (billions were already retrieved) plus the worst economic crisis plus the destruction of Petrobras (a state-owned oil company).

The "right wing" parties are called Centrão (big center) because they don't have a clear ideology. Since redemocratization they ALWAYS supported the Federal Government, demanding positions on Ministries and on state-owned companies. They supported the Workers Party for 14 years.
