BBB Bench

In Brazilian politics, the BBB Bench is a collective term used to informally describe three powerful political factions ( , literally "benches") in the National Congress associated with the conservative right: * Bullet Bench ( ), legislators supportive of protecting and expanding gun rights; * Rural Bench ( ), often referred to as the (Ox Bench), legislators aligned with agribusiness interests. * Evangelical Bench ( , often referred to as the ), aligned with the country's evangelical movement. The term “BBB” was used for the first time by federal deputy Erika Kokay at a meeting of the Workers' Party (PT) bench in the Chamber of Deputies in early 2015, eliciting laughter from colleagues. The expression soon became popular as a derogatory term used by leftists against their conservative opponents, who they deemed a threat to human and minority rights. The BBB Bench played a crucial role in the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. Even prior to Dilma's impeachment, the BBB Bench had already begun pressuring centre-right Vice President Michel Temer to support their proposals. In the 2018 presidential election, federal deputy Jair Bolsonaro, a member of the BBB Bench, was elected President of Brazil.
