The results are in! Lula is elected as the next president of Brazil.
Bolsonaro however, has his legislative supporters winning the majority of seats in Congress.
Bolsonaro vocally denies Lula's victory and has already consolidated a solid body to help him govern if he wins the Oct. 30 run offs.
Despite Lula's win of the vote, he will be facing a hard time in office with Bolsonaro's supporters.]]> 2022-10-04 12:15:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffl6312/ep0k6ee1f6ftosgm/wish/2325552217 The Guardian 10/09/2022: "I'd eat an Indian" jeffl6312 https://padlet.com/jeffl6312/ep0k6ee1f6ftosgm/wish/2338735844 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/09/brazil-jair-bolsonaro-cannibalism-boast
Allegations on President Jair Bolsonaro brags about being willing to engage in cannabalism during an interview with foreign journalists have been brought up to light once again.
This may or may not affect the publics view of Bolsonaro but it emphasizes the lengths social media is willing to go to bring up controversies during important periods such as an election. ]]> 2022-10-13 13:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffl6312/ep0k6ee1f6ftosgm/wish/2338735844
