Today, Sunday, the historic presidential elections are held in Brazil, in which former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the current outgoing president, Jair Bolsonaro, will compete.
More than 120 million Brazilian voters can vote in Sunday’s elections which will determine whether the country can revert to left-wing government or remain under right-wing government.
The main slogan of Lula da Silva’s campaign includes what he called “the poor in the budget” and in particular raising wages, increasing financial assistance to poor families and encouraging employment. da Silva also promises to reform agriculture and ensure food sovereignty for his country.
In the field of energy, the leftist candidate considers it necessary to change the policy of the oil company Petrobras to ensure the supply of fuels, as well as investing in factories for oil refining, as well as eliminating the dependence of energy prices on the dollar.
The current Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, nicknamed “tropical Trump”, has promised in his election campaign to create new jobs, mainly for women and young people. He also plans to impose tax breaks for the poor, develop infrastructure in the regions, continue the privatization program and strengthen the fight against crime.
