Liberal Party

O meu ponto que eu quero fazer aqui é o seguinte: o Rio de Janeiro já tem a fama, prendeu todo mundo menos a Benedita, todos os governadores eleitos.

Benedita da Silva, que não foi eleita senadora, e sim seus dois cabos do PL junto com o Ruas.

O que eu quero falar é que o que, quem ocupa o poder no Rio de Janeiro, e cada vez mais robustamente, é um grupo e não um candidato.

Os candidatos desse grupo, eles são descartáveis.

Porém, é uma garantia muito tênue, porque-

Dura até fevereiro

...o novo Congresso tem, de partida, 30 senadores do PL.

Foram eleitos 19, mais aqueles que já tavam, 28.

The entire, uh, lower house of the Congress and two-thirds of the upper house of the Congress were, uh, were, were elected.

Um, and, uh, uh, Bolsonaro's Liberal Party, uh, did exceptionally well.

Uh, as a matter of fact, uh, they, uh, captured, uh, um, they, they doubled their representation in the Senate.

Uh, they did very, very well in, in, in the lower house.

And in many ways it's, uh, um, it's, it's a bit like the Kennedys, but it's also, uh, a bit like the Trump family, where you see, uh, you know, people who are each, uh, very different in their own right and, and yet at the same time, uh, each member o- of the clan in, in their own way is supporting and also, um, uh, taking advantage of the, the, the legacy of Jair Bolsonaro.

So, uh, and I think that will continue to be important, uh, going forward, uh, uh, not only how the Bolsonaros, uh, take this forward, uh, and, and press forward for things like, uh, amnesty for, um, for their, their father, which seems, uh, possible now, especially with the, uh, the number of sympathetic persons that they have in the Senate that they would need to potentially change laws and even impeach some of the Supreme Court justices, uh, such as, uh, de Moraes, uh, responsible for this lawfare campaign ag- ag- against their father.

But, uh, some of the ways in which, uh, this could, uh, uh, lead them to, um, to, to, to implement other, uh, broad-ranging changes, uh, leveraging their Liberal Party and, and leveraging some of what is called the Central, the centrist parties, who if, uh, uh, the Bolsonaros come to power, uh, may, uh, shift from collaborating with, w- with the PT and Lula to collaborating with the Bolsonaros in, in this, uh, very different new era.

The stock market is rallying and there are lots of boosting remarks.

Solo Lula nos va a poder salvar, solo en Lula confío, en el individuo.

Pero si nos fijamos, porque esto era unas megaelecciones, si nos fijamos en las elecciones más a nivel parlamentario, arrasa el partido, el Partido Liberal, el partido de los-- de, de, de Bolsonaro.

O sea, tenemos veintiocho escaños frente a nueve del Partido de los Trabajadores, si, si no me equivoco.

Eh, por lo tanto, vemos un, un claro descalabro de ese-

Y en cambio, se, se loca-- se, se percibe a su padre como mucho más evangélico que el propio Fa-Flavio Bolsona-Bolsonaro, alguien que sí que encarna esos valores.

Entonces, esas diferencias padre e hijo creo que van a ser interesantes de seguir, sobre todo cuando el propio Jair Bolsonaro salga de la tarce-- de la cárcel, si gana, si gana Fa-Flavio en la segunda vuelta.

Hemos visto un avance de, de, de ese Partido Liberal de, de los Bolsonaro, eh, sobre todo en ciudades pequeñas, en zonas del interior y sobre todo en el sur, donde el tema del agro, de esa industria agropecuaria, tiene mucho peso, ¿no? Había-- las estadísticas marcan que la diferencia o el cre-- ese crecimiento electoral de los Bolsonaro ha sido significativamente mayor, creo que ocho puntos o, o algo así, en la-- en los estados en los que el agro representa más del cincuenta por ciento de la economía.

Eh, quiero que me habléis, porque es muy interesante esa relación entre esa política conservadora brasileña y esos sectores económicos, eh, vinculados al agro, ¿no? ¿Cómo, cómo se, cómo se configuran esas alianzas en Brasil?

The first round of Brazil's general elections on Sunday produced a political earthquake.

Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son and political heir of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year prison sentence for leading the 2022-23 coup conspiracy, finished first with forty seven per cent of the valid votes against forty five point two per cent for incumbent president louis ignacio lula da silva of the workers party pt defying the final polls which had placed lula ahead flavio received fifty six point one million votes two point two five million more than the incumbent and enters the october twenty five run off as the favourite this result was not confined to the presidential race bolsonaro's liberal party the pl elected one hundred and twenty one federal deputies up from ninety nine in twenty twenty two the largest delegation won by any single party since the nineteen eighty eight constitution In the Senate, it won 19 of the 54 seats in contention and will hold 28 of the 181 seats, more than a third of the chamber.

In the States, the right consolidated its hold, winning in the first round the governorships of most of the South and Southeast, the country's economic heartland.

A verdict on the broad front.
