Jair Bolsonaro is the front-runner in Brazil's presidential election. He is a conservative Christian, pro-gun, a former army captain, and the only candidate with no corruption charges against him. He's looking to modernise the lethargic Brazilian economy with the aid of UChicago economist Paulo Guedes. He wants to align Brazil's foreign policy with Western nationalist governments against the influence of China, Eurasianism and regional socialism (Venezuela and Cuba). He has a hard stance on crime and supports increasing the power of police forces and the army to tackle Brazil's drug and violence problems. Under heavy fire from the media and academia, with an extremely restricted campaign budget, and having survived an assassination attempt, Bolsonaro's presidential run is nothing short of extraordinary.
JB's antagonist in the presidential race is Fernando Haddad, a sociologist, former minister of education under Lula and former mayor of São Paulo. He's running for the left-wing Labour Party (PT) under the guidance of former president Lula, who is currently in prison after being convicted for corruption and money laundering. PT had been the ruling party in Brazil for 13 years, but is facing high rejection in the polls after a police investigation uncovered the largest known corruption scheme in Brazilian history, which PT architected.
Jair Bolsonaro was the most voted by the Brazilian immigrants in Lisbon. The PSL candidate had 4475 of the 6948 valid votes, or 64.4%. His PT rival, Fernando Haddad, had 2473 votes, or 36.6%.
The abstention in the Portuguese capital, however, is around 68%, since 22,000 Brazilians are registered in Lisbon and 40,000 in the whole country.
Bolsonaro had already been the most voted in Lisbon in the first round with 56%, that is, rose almost 10% between the 7 and this Sunday.
The PSL candidate also won, according to the first results, cities such as Frankfurt, Munich Zurich, Geneva, London, Brussels, Madrid, Maputo, Luanda and Dili.
The PT rival was the favorite of Brazilian voters in Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Cologne and Berlin.
At the national level in Germany, Deutsche Welle Brazil advanced, Haddad won in Germany with 56% of the valid votes, with Bolsonaro achieving 44%.
I've joked a lot about your country for years, but I'm genuinely happy for you guys. I always thought the little motto on your flag was ironic, but now I hope it's just prophetic of the future. You guys deserve order and progress.
there are no gangs for that, those nigger religions happen to leave trash on the sidewalks and such, none likes them

Brazil is China's 2nd largest source of soi and a few other things like rubber iirc. A US-aligned Brazil is bad for China's trade interests, really bad. If both the US and Brazil stopped selling China soi, they would all starve to death, literally.
because of these threads alone I've quit smoking I'm lifting like a mad men and now I will go after the necessary documentation to own my firearm once everything is set
