In the Eye of the Storm- Politics in Brazil Today

Join us on the riverside for a discussion on the current political scene in Brazil.  The event will start with a networking breakfast and end with a Q&A session after the talk.

With foreign press reporting glimpses of a country in a state of political tension, it has become no secret that Brazil has been facing various governmental challenges over the past year.

Murillo de Aragão will present an analysis of the current political landscape in Brazil, focusing on the difficulties the country now faces and discussing some of the key issues that have arisen as a result.

The talk will focus on the relationship between government and congress, the allegations of corruption and the subsequent investigations, demonstrations on the street, the popularity of the current political party in power and the outlook for the country in years to come.
