The presidential candidacy of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil in 2018 was the Populist Radical Right’s (PRR) first one to be electorally successful in Latin America. Although it is possible to assert that Bolsonaro belongs to the PRR given his political career, few studies have focused on the supply-side and Bolsonaro’s ideas and discourses. This article analyzes the relevance of the three defining attributes of the PRR – nativism, authoritarianism, and populism – in Bolsonaro’s ideological and programmatic platform. Based on an analysis of the 2018 electoral manifesto, campaign and government speeches, and social network posts, three arguments will be made: (i) authoritarianism is the primary defining attribute of Bolsonaro; (ii) populism only exists in the country associated with a solid negative political identity, an anti-Workers’ Party sentiment known in Brazil as antipetismo; and (iii) neoliberalism must be considered a fourth ideological element of the Brazilian PRR.

Jair Bolsonaro 和巴西民粹主义激进右翼的决定性特征

2018 年巴西总统候选人 Jair Bolsonaro 是民粹主义激进右翼 (PRR) 的第一个在拉丁美洲选举中取得成功的人。尽管从政治生涯来看，可以断言博索纳罗属于人民革命党，但很少有研究关注供应方和博索纳罗的思想和话语。本文分析了 PRR 的三个定义属性——本土主义、威权主义和民粹主义——在博尔索纳罗的意识形态和纲领性平台中的相关性。基于对 2018 年选举宣言、竞选和政府演讲以及社交网络帖子的分析，将提出三个论点：(i) 威权主义是博尔索纳罗的主要定义属性；(ii) 民粹主义只存在于与坚定的消极政治认同相关的国家，在巴西被称为 antipetismo 的反工人党情绪；(iii) 新自由主义必须被视为巴西 PRR 的第四个意识形态要素。
