In our conversation with Valério Arcary, we discussed the impacts of Donald Trump's election in the United States, its effects on Brazil and the global scenario. We analyzed the position of China and the BRICS in this post-election context, seeking to understand how the main global powers tend to position themselves in the coming years. Amidst the increase in geopolitical tensions, we reflected on the possibility of a new global armed conflict, in addition to addressing the reality of the war in Ukraine and the genocide in Palestine.

Next, we turn our attention to Brazil, analyzing the political situation of Jair Bolsonaro and Bolsonarism after the indictment of the former president, as well as Pablo Marçal's progress in the 2023 municipal elections. Finally, we conclude with considerations about the Lula government, Guilherme Boulos' campaign and the importance of a young left, which shows that it is far from being overcome.
