The second round of presidential elections began in Brazil on Sunday. About 159 million voters are deciding whether left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva remains in office, or whether the country will be led by right-wing senator Flávio Bolsonaro. The outcome will determine the political direction of Latin America's largest country for the next four years. Le Monde ↗
Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, won the first round with 47 percent of the vote. Lula received 45 percent and is seeking a fourth, non-consecutive term. Ahead of the second round, polls indicated a very tight race, with both candidates at roughly the same level. teraz.sk ↗
The campaign was marked by significant political polarization. In the final stretch, Lula tried to mobilize his supporters and pointed to the achievements of his government. Flávio Bolsonaro presented himself as a representative of right-wing change, building on his family's political influence. According to assessments, a victory for his camp would mean a shift of Brazil to the right. Tagesspiegel ↗
After casting his vote, Lula attacked his rival and called him a liar. Flávio Bolsonaro claims that Brazilian society wants structural change. The outcome will be decided by the votes of those who in the first round did not support either of the two favorites. The vote is considered decisive for the country's further political development.
