It took just five days for Brazil’s supreme court to spring into action when the Jair Bolsonaro administration last month cancelled the census, citing the Covid-19 pandemic and budgetary constraints.
Justice Marco Aurélio ordered the government to reverse course and conduct the constitutionally mandated decennial survey, which had already been postponed once last year. “It is up to the supreme court to impose the adoption of measures to make the demographic research feasible,” he said.
