In light of the Jan 8 events in Brasilia and the ongoing fall out we sit down with Brazil based journalist Brian Mier of BrasilWire and TelesurEnglish to break it all down and make sense of it all. We discuss Lula's electoral victory, societal conditions that lead to the coup attempt, the coup attempt itself, and what a Lula presidency represents not only for Brazil but for the whole region and world. For a bit of extra background check out this week's Machete Minutes on our YouTube channel. If you support what we do consider showing your solidarity at patreon.com/macheteymate.
