I am not from Brazil, nor am I closely following its politics, but I would like to pose a genuine question: in a modern liberal democracy, doesn’t a four-term presidency represent too much power concentrated in one person?
It's not four consecutive terms, you are only allowed 2 consecutive terms.
Yes.
In a liberal democracy with many opposing viewpoints, having to elect a single "head of government" that will be necessarily beholden to only one part of the electorate is detrimental, especially in combination with something like FPTP.
A directorate where executive power is distributed over multiple people and executive policy is decided on in a concordat it a much better solution.
He just got voted in, if he's doing a good job or people don't like the other guy, people will keep voting or him
no. as presidency is not a dictatorship
