About This Trend
Traidores da Pátria is a term currently being used to describe Brazilian politicians and individuals accused of betraying the country's interests.
According to Metropoles, professor Hussain Kalout has stated that the Bolsonaros have joined the list of 'grandes traidores da pátria' (great traitors of the country). This label has been used by several media outlets and public figures, including Cláudio Humberto, who compared President Lula's strategy to that of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. The term has sparked a heated debate in Brazil, with some calling for unity against those who supposedly act against the nation's interests. A feature article explored the concept in more detail.
