In October, brazilian people will decide who is going to be the next President. Well, the first-round actually.

The scenario shows that Lula, who was the president from 2002 to 2010 and Bolsonaro, the current president are the only ones capable of winning. The other candidates (Ciro, Simone, Soraya, etc) are very far from reaching any of them. Lula is ahead at the polls, but Bolsonaro and his followers are claiming that the polls are lying and the current president is going to win at first round.

A lot of things are happening here in Brazil right now. The social media (Facebook, Twitter) is flooded with manifestants, from both sides. They are quite aggressive, and many of them are getting banned over and over again.

Here are some of the news, since I'm not very good at writting in english:

Brazilian protest for democracy as Bolsonaro threatens election

Lula compares Bolsonaro's September 7th to a Ku Klux Klan meeting

How close is the race between Bolsonaro and Lula?

Well, I can only hope for the best. I don't actually care which one of them is going to win, I wish we had a third option, but like I said, no other candidate have a chance to win against Bolsonaro and Lula.

(If you are brazilian): Eu estou com a péssima sensação de que essas eleições podem resultar em algo muito assustador...
