Brazilian Presidential Race Led by Polarizing Figures
Brazilian society finds itself in a situation of polarization that has been aggravated with the corruption scandals. The two leading candidates seem to represent a poor choice for most Brazilians. If the legal system can impose itself above political considerations, this is a victory for Brazilian law and order. The outcome of this election will affect the direction of Brazilian democracy and foreign policy for years to come and could lead to serious consequences for the people of Brazil and for the region.
