The podcast "À Direita" features a new episode hosted by Teresa Nogueira Pinto, who welcomes Alexandre Franco de Sá as a guest. This episode delves into themes related to the political right and contemporary populism.

In the episode, Alexandre Franco de Sá presents a perspective on right-wing populism, defining it as "the return of the popular people." This statement reflects his analysis of the relationship between populist movements and popular representation.

Regarding the concept of moderation, the guest distinguishes his position from the traditional view. For Franco de Sá, moderation should not be understood as an "obsession with consensus" nor as an inclination toward the political center, thus defending an approach different from conventional moderation.

The episode is available in podcast format, allowing listeners to follow this conversation about the different currents of the right and their implications for the current political landscape.
