Brazil, An Epidemiological Bomb (Spanish)

The management of President Jair Bolsonaro and the new variants of the coronavirus have created a catastrophic scenario in Brazil, making it the global epicenter of the pandemic. Journalist Cícero Pedrosa Neto tells us about a community historically abandoned by the Brazilian State, which is an extreme example of what has caused the government to neglect the pandemic. Then, the Latin America correspondent for Folha de S. Paulo, Sylvia Colombo, helps us understand what the health chaos in Brazil means for the region.

Listen to the podcast in Spanish above or on the El hilo website.
