Sumario:What is the relationship between nationalism and populism? The term populism as an explanatory category and as an empirical concept has been revisited within the scope of Political Science, which has converged to a minimalist definition centered on the opposition between a virtuous people and a corrupt elite (Mudde, 2007). In turn, nationalism is a concept much discussed in several areas of knowledge, including anthropology, history, and political science itself, referring in its main version to the nation as a community limited territorially and in time, as opposed to other communities (Anderson, 2004). More recently, some scholars have observed that both concepts tend to overlap, thus generating a theoretical and empirical problem insofar as populism is characterized by nationalist elements (Brubaker, 2020). This research has as its main objective to clarify the relationship between populism and nationalism in the official speeches of President Bolsonaro, theoretically and empirically contributing to the analysis of the issue related to the overlap between these two concepts. The emphasis placed on the analysis of President Bolsonaro\'s speech will also allow us to clarify whether the president should be characterized as populist, nationalist, both or neither
