What is your reaction to this outcome?

So there is a high chance that Bolsonaro can win again on the 25th of October.
16:47
So what will that mean for the world and, of course, for Europe? I would say that has a significant impact and the shifts in South America.
16:55
You will have the two biggest countries in the South America region now governed, if Bolsonaro wins, by right-wing conservative majorities with a different agenda, very close to Donald Trump and moving further away.

What kind of radical policy overhaul should we embrace for here in Europe?
