Brasilien. Lula Reinstates “Civil Society” to Brazil’s Drug Policy Council
In 2019, then-President Jair Bolsonaro signed a decree that barred civil society representatives from participating in Brazil’s National Council on Drug Policy (CONAD).

Whether the representatives themselves will be those who advocate change, or are more interested in maintaining the status quo, is another matter. (Filter, USA, 19.04.2023)
