About the Author

Pedro Bernard & Isabel Almeida is the author of BAP – The Banalization of Arrogance and Prepotency (in the Rise of the Far-Right).

His work reflects a personal and critical examination of contemporary political and social phenomena, focusing on the normalization of arrogance, authoritarian behaviour, political manipulation and the erosion of democratic values.

In BAP, he examines how propaganda, social media, political polarization and the growing acceptance of aggressive forms of leadership can influence public opinion and democratic societies.

Rather than presenting himself as an academic or political specialist, the author approaches these questions as an independent observer, inviting readers to reflect critically on the mechanisms that allow arrogance and prepotency to become normalized in public life.
