The result
The world looks on in shock during the celebrations of Jair Bolsonaro (PSL), the neo-fascist candidate elected by 57 million Brazilians to serve as president of the country and its 210 million inhabitants.
In the first electoral round, victory was already imminent, as his votes totaled almost all the other twelve candidates added together. This demonstrated that Bolsonaro aspired beyond simply opposing the Worker’s Party (PT).
