Cursa prezidențială din Brazilia merge în al doilea tur. Flavio Bolsonaro a obținut un rezultat surpriză și e în fața lui Lula da Silva

The Brazilian presidential elections will proceed to a second round as Flavio Bolsonaro leads but fails to secure an absolute majority. He garnered 47% of the votes, while incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva received 45.1%. The second round is set for October 25. Bolsonaro's strong performance has also resulted in significant gains for the far-right in Congress. Lula, aiming for a fourth term, expressed confidence despite the setback, emphasizing the stark differences between their platforms. The elections also included legislative positions and governorships, with Bolsonaro's camp focusing on Senate elections due to their power over Supreme Court judges. Lula criticized Bolsonaro's past and the influence of Donald Trump on the elections, while Bolsonaro's supporters celebrated their lead despite not winning outright in the first round.
