Street mobilisation credited with defeating Bolsonaro and Vucic

Original: Si Bolsonaro et Vučić ont été battus dans les urnes, c'est avant tout parce qu'il y a eu une très forte mobilisation dan

Commentators are arguing that Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil and Aleksandar Vucic in Serbia lost at the polls chiefly because of massive street protests, not the ballot alone. The argument, made in French political commentary circulating online, holds that voting is not enough and that a genuine balance of force in the streets is needed, urging citizens not to wait for a supreme saviour.

Why now: The electoral setbacks of both leaders have reignited debate over whether protest movements, rather than elections themselves, drive political change.
