- Levitsky acerta ao notar que autoritários vencem porque elites lhes dão salvo-conduto. Mas sua saída é confiar em “elites responsáveis” que mantenham a democracia com participação limitada. Uma crítica ao autoritarismo que acaba presa numa visão elitista da própria democracia.
- Reposted by Thomás Zicman de BarrosPatriotism or ‘identity’ politics? In JCES, @bolandeira.bsky.social & @theoaiolfi.bsky.social show how Mélenchon’s vision of 'créolisation' shakes up the populist playbook - offering a path beyond nationalist appeals & the worn-out binary of universalism vs. particularism. doi.org/10.1080/1478...
- 📢 New article with @bolandeira.bsky.social in JCES! Can left populism embrace anti-racism & queer politics - or must it stick to patriotism to reach “the people”? We reply to Rojas-Andrés, Mazzolini & Custodi with a French case: the Mélenchon–Ruffin split.👇 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
- Thrilled to share this (apparently controversial) piece with @theoaiolfi.bsky.social digging into how the French left imagines “the people.” From LFI’s shifting tactics to Ruffin–Mélenchon frictions, creolisation, and the stakes of radical democracy — we go there!

- Acabou de sair minha segunda crônica pra @br.rfi.fr! Religião e racismo: no Brasil, temas separados. Na França, se misturam num discurso “laico” que exclui muçulmanos—e revive a gramática do antissemitismo. Tema delicado. O que acharam? www.rfi.fr/br/podcasts/...
- Maio começa com novidade: no dia 12, estreio como cronista na @br.rfi.fr! Direto de Paris, duas vezes por mês, comentarei sobre política internacional em texto, áudio e vídeo—num continente onde fantasmas antigos começam a rondar novamente. Estou animado. É hora de prestar atenção.
- We’ve won a prize! So happy to see years of hard work and dedication recognised. Huge congratulations to all past and present convenors—this one’s for all of us!

- Conversei com Guilherme Botacini para essa reportagem da @folha.com sobre o avanço do autoritarismo em 2024. Apesar do ano complicado de que falamos, é uma alegria terminar esse ciclo sendo mencionado ao lado da @marinasfbarreto.bsky.social! www1.folha.uol.com.br/mundo/2024/1...
- No domingo, conversei com @marcelolins.bsky.social e @gugachacrareal.bsky.social na GloboNews! Falamos sobre o novo premiê da França e as perspectivas para Emmanuel Macron. A íntegra pode ser vista aqui: youtu.be/S4h5ZY0qybc
- Por que as democracias liberais estão em crise? Falei com a incrível @natuzanery.bsky.social no podcast O Assunto (do @g1portal.bsky.social) sobre França, Alemanha, precarização e mais. O que acharam? Quero muito saber a opinião de vocês, de verdade! open.spotify.com/episode/3GQG...
- Hoje, domingo, devo conversar com @marcelolins.bsky.social e Guga Chacra no @globo-news.bsky.social Internacional sobre a crise política francesa e a nomeação de François Bayrou como premiê! A partir das 19h30.
- Hoje cedo conversei com @miltonjung.bsky.social e @cassiagodoy.bsky.social no Jornal da @cbn.globo.com. Falamos sobre a moção de censura que derrubou o premiê Michel Barnier, a crise política na França e a pressão pela renúncia (improvável) de Macron! A integra disponível aqui: youtu.be/RB8tZAjhErc
- Raridade: numa mesma foto, os dois únicos premiês derrubados por uma moção de censura na história da 5ª República Francesa (por enquanto!). Georges Pompidou havia caído em 1962. 62 anos depois, foi a vez de Michel Barnier perder o posto.
- Com 331 votos (eu previa 332!), passou a moção de censura contra o governo de Michel Barnier. É a primeira censura de um governo na França desde 1962! Macron construiu esse cenário com a dissolução do parlamento e a recusa de negociar com a esquerda, ficando refém de Le Pen.
- Com a demissão do premiê após uma moção de censura programada para quarta, cresce o movimento pela renúncia de Macron. Esquerda e extrema-direita pedem sua saída. Nada o obriga, mas sem novo governo, ele pode repetir Alexandre Millerand, forçado a renunciar há 100 anos, em 1924.
- Sem maioria no parlamento francês, o primeiro-ministro Michel Barnier apela ao artigo 49.3 da Constituição para aprovar o orçamento sem voto. O revés: isso permite uma moção de censura contra o governo, que deve passar com os votos da esquerda e da extrema-direita.
- Comparações entre nossa época e a ascensão do fascismo nos anos 1930 são corretas, mas limitadas: cem anos atrás, havia uma ameaça revolucionária de esquerda para assustar as elites. Hoje, esse risco inexiste. O apoio à extrema-direita é para não bancar o mínimo de welfare state.
