Bolsonaro’s ascension to the presidency of Brazil in 2018 came as a shockwave to the political establishment. Although the far-right had resurfaced and gained political ground in several countries around the globe, none came to expect such an extravagant member of the National Congress - a conspiracy theorist and an open supporter of torture - to ever be elected. This article intends to demonstrate that Bolsonaro was not merely a bizarre politician who led a nationwide movement devoid of historical background.

Palabras clave : Latin American populism; fascism; far-right wing; Brazilian Military Dictatorship.
