Політика · Brazil runoffBolsonaro's Son Beats Lula in Round One by 1.9 Points as Brazil Heads to RunoffНаписано 5 жовтня 2026 р. о 17:38 UTCДивитисяСтенограма0:09A first-time candidate just beat Brazil's president in round one by under two0:14points.0:14He is Flavio Bolsonaro, 45, son of a former president serving 27 years for a coup,0:19and he has pledged amnesty for his father.0:22Neither he nor Lula cleared 50%, so the two meet in a runoff.0:26The question: Can Lula, 80, close the gap, or do the defeated candidates' votes0:31carry Flavio past the line?0:32With every ballot counted, Flavio took 47.03% of valid votes, about0:3756.1 million.0:39Lula took 45.16%, about 53 million.0:43Everyone else shared roughly 7.8%.0:46That gap is the smallest in a first round in Brazilian history.0:49The published figures differ slightly, since 47,4016 is 1.87, likely0:55rounding.0:56Early counts made it look wider, and 97% counted.0:59It was 47.42 to 44.70.1:02Lula collected about 3.4 million fewer votes than in his 2022 first round.1:07even as valid votes hit a record 119.3 million.1:11Flavio won the most votes in 15 states, Lula in 12 units.1:15Lula told supporters in São Paulo he was surprised and had expected to win outright.1:20The result beat most private polls, and a July poll had him ahead of Flavio in a1:24runoff.1:25We reported in August that the two were polling closely.1:28The arithmetic runs through those other candidates.1:31Flavio needs about three more points of valid votes to reach 50%, Lula needs nearly1:36five.1:36The expectation is that those mostly right-wing votes move to Flavio, but that is a1:41forecast, not a result.1:42Flavio is courting defeated candidates, counting on São Paulo Governor Tarcicio de1:46Freitas, and planning a bigger push in the Northeast.1:49No formal endorsement from any defeated candidate had been established by Monday,1:54and no runoff poll has surfaced.1:55The amnesty pledge makes this runoff partly a vote on whether a convicted coup2:00leader walks free.2:01Reports differ on whether Jair Bolsonaro is jailed or under house arrest.2:05He has backed his son from custody.2:08Flavio has also pledged closer ties with the United States and would likely join the2:12U.S.-led shield of the Americas anti-Narco coalition, though that assessment is less2:16firmly sourced.2:18Donald Trump's backing of Flavio is less overt than in Colombia or Argentina, while2:23Lula has taken an anti-US line.2:25At home, the top concerns are crime and security, including femicide, and a weak2:30economy with interest rates above 13%.2:32Those are the pressures a challenger has used against an incumbent of 80.2:36Brazil's electronic voting system is secure, but doubts about it have grown.2:40Flavio and Jair Bolsonaro have alleged problems without concrete evidence.2:44Whether either press's fraud claims after a first-round Flavio one is open, and a2:49closer runoff would raise the stakes of any such claim.2:51Investors read the result as favorable to Flavio.2:54Brazilian markets were expected to jump on Monday on hopes for fiscal reform and2:58lower interest rates, and a Brazil-focused ETF in Tokyo rose 7.6% in early trading.3:03The actual moves in the Abospa and the Real are not yet established.3:07One estimate says a Flavio win could cut 10-year yields by 70 basis points and lift3:11the Real almost 3%.3:12That is a scenario, not an outcome, and it shows what capital wants, not what the3:17public needs.3:18So can Lula close the gap?3:20That is unknown.3:21No runoff poll exists yet.3:22No defeated candidate has formally endorsed Flavio and turnout and congressional3:26results are not established.3:28What is known, Flavio needs about three points.3:30Lula nearly five and on October 25th Jair Bolsonaro's amnesty, U.S.3:35alignment, crime and a 13% interest rate economy are all on the ballot.Читати статтюХронологія історіїHeyDexКоротке відео ↗Хто що повідомивПункти, про
