Nation-wide municipal elections in Brazil dealt far-right President Jair Bolsonaro a strong rebuke. Among the results are the election of many members of Banca Feminista, a bloc of candidates for the Party for Socialism and Freedom as well as Homeless Workers Movement leader Guilherme Boulos’s surprising success getting into the second round of the São Paulo mayoral election in what is Latin America’s largest city.
