| Brazilian diaspora |
There is a Brazilian diaspora in Mexico. Although the first Portuguese-speaking immigrants in Mexico were the Portuguese, Brazilians today are the largest Portuguese-speaking community living in the country.
History
There has been a Brazilian presence in Mexico since at least 1895, when the National Census counted 91 residents.[2] As a result of the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, around one hundred individuals were admitted into Mexico as political refugees.[3]
Brazilians residing in Mexico are mainly businessmen, traders, models, escorts, athletes, students, academics and scientists.[citation needed] There are major Brazilian communities in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla and Ensenada. There is also a Brazilian presence in the Riviera Maya.
Institutions
The main cultural organization is the Casa do Brasil in Mexico City.[citation needed] Other organizations include the Centro Cultural Brasil-México and Ce. Bras, also in Mexico City.[citation needed]
