Competiție de infarct pentru președinția Braziliei. Fiul unui ex-președinte pe cale să îl învingă pe actualul • Newsweek România

Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, won the first round of Brazil's presidential elections against current president Lula da Silva but did not secure an outright victory. A runoff is scheduled for October 25. Bolsonaro received 47.03% of the votes compared to Lula's 45.16%, exceeding expectations. The election has polarized Brazil, focusing on issues like sovereignty, crime, and corruption. Lula, who has a strong base among low-income voters, acknowledged the unexpected results but remains confident. Flávio aims to grant amnesty to his father and supporters involved in past riots. The campaign has also highlighted corruption and crime as major concerns, with both candidates proposing different approaches to these issues. The outcome will influence Brazil's alignment with the U.S. and its economic policies, especially regarding China.
