• Resumen

  • This article addresses the neoconservative offensive driven by transnational links between Far-Right organisations, with emphasis on how their agenda materialised in social policies and the centrality placed on the family. From documentary research, we observed the importance of transnational links–with a nemphasis on the transatlantic Political Network for Values (PNfV)–and their repercussions on the national agenda and initiatives implemented in Brazil. Under the Bolsonaro government, with the justification of acting in defence of life from conception,and of fundamental freedoms of conscience and religion and the so-called natural family,and the rights attributed to it, experiences were shared and spread across government actions, in social policy and in various aspects of national life. An important aim of this offensive wasthe dismantling of public social policies and rights -especially the sexual and reproductive rights of women and LGBTQIA+ people, within the scope of the war against gender ideology and state interventionism-and the deepening of the neoliberal agenda.
