Brazil Poised to Elect Far-Right President

“Voters in Brazil, the world’s fourth-largest democracy, appear poised to elect a far-right populist as president in a runoff election on Sunday that could signal the biggest political shift in the country since the end of the military dictatorship in 1985,” the New York Times reports.

BBC: “While polls have been narrowing, Mr Bolsonaro remains in the lead.”

“The election has been over-shadowed by corruption scandals and a knife attack on Mr Bolsonaro in which he lost 40% of his blood and needed emergency surgery.”
