Worth translating: interview w/ @valentimvicente.bsky.social on a very plausible explanation for the rise of the radical right in Europe:

Alongside @psaepop.bsky.social , EPSA is the best conference I've been to. And that's due to the people, and the people deserve that their fees go back to improving their work.
Unlike the last 6 or so years, I'll not be at EPSA, but instead EPSS. Even though I love Prague.

He's right, and it's not just Brazil.
Around the world, at least 31 democratic leaders who committed similar crimes have been jailed or banned from office since 2010. The failure to hold Trump accountable in the US was a unique and systemic failure of our institutions and political culture.
