BRAZILIAN President Jair Bolsonaro’s son Eduardo proposed a Bill this week that would ban communist symbols including the hammer and sickle.

Mr Bolsonaro Jr said his Bill was modelled on one adopted by the Ukrainian government following the fascist-backed Maidan coup of 2014, which banned communist symbols and positive references to Soviet history or communist ideology.

The Ukrainian government has since outlawed the Communist Party there and prevented it from standing in elections.
