Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro have wrapped up their election campaigns, each voicing confidence in victory ahead of Sunday’s tightly contested first-round presidential vote.
Lula, 80, closed his re-election bid on Saturday with a march through Sao Paulo, Brazil’s economic powerhouse, drawing what his campaign called a record crowd for a closing rally.
“Tomorrow, we’re going to win the elections in the first round,” he told supporters, describing Sunday’s vote as a choice between “democracy and barbarism” and promising to “defeat the far right”.
He has also framed the election as a test of Brazil’s sovereignty, warning against “meddling” by Washington.
let me guess , the far right trump like candidate is going to win
He’s leading so far, 47 - 45%. I guess it’ll come down to who the smaller parties support in the second round.
Oh wow, where have a seen a pattern before where a madhead wins and ruins everything, the establishment gets back but pretends like everything is normal, and then the madhead wins again?
mostly the right wing and assorted loons. there were no left leaning parties with an expressive amount of voters beyond lula’s pt. bolsonaro wins unless something big happens within the week.
As usual.
I genuinely wonder why the obvious US foreign meddling is allowed all over the place.
the compradors want to make more money off of labor. they don’t care about sending away critical resources as long as they’re paid. the politicians (who are also mostly compradors themselves) want even freer reign to steal and embezzle. crime ocorre nada acontece.
feijoada.
It’s an inevitable consequence of allowing “free press”.
