The text develops the argu-ment in two complementary phases: on the one hand, by analyzing the political language, that can be considered as specialized language, used in Bolsonaro’s institutional political communication.On the other hand, by focusing on the negationist and post-truth strategies of banalization of the pandemic present in official statements.
