After more than two years of a coup d’état government in Brazil, a democratic solution has not yet become clear. The powerful factions responsible for organising the coup without a winning candidate failed in overcoming the political crisis and reactivating the economy, and are still questioning whether to knock on the door of the army barracks to continue their rein under even less democratic circumstances.
Elections are due to take place in October of this year. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has been in jail for around 3 months and sentenced in a process without evidence, keeps on winning.
