Jair Bolsonaro has been president of Brazil since 2018. His four-year term has been mired with controversy including over 680,000 Covid-19 deaths, the increased deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, and Bolsonaro's own history of racist, homophobic and sexist remarks.

In October 2022 the right-wing Bolsonaro faces Lula De Silva, leader of the Worker's Party and himself former president of Brazil, in a general election. But Lula himself is not without controversy: he was previously convicted of corruption and sentenced to nine years in prison - though the conviction was overturned and the prosecutor, who became a member of Bolsonaro's cabinet, was found to have not acted impartially.

Jair Bolsonaro's actions and policies have led to comparisons with former US president Donald Trump. In the run-up to the 2022 Brazil election, Bolsonaro has repeatedly gone on record stating that he won't accept a result in which he is not the winner.

In this video, Phil Clarke-Hill explores what the Brazilian election means for Brazil and the world.

Jair Bolsonaro é presidente do Brasil desde 2018. Seu mandato de quatro anos está repleto de controvérsias, incluindo mais de 680.000 mortes por Covid-19, o aumento do desmatamento da floresta amazônica e o próprio histórico de comentários racistas, homofóbicos e sexistas de Bolsonaro.

Em outubro de 2022, o direitista Bolsonaro enfrenta Lula De Silva, líder do Partido dos Trabalhadores e ex-presidente do Brasil, em uma eleição geral. Mas o próprio Lula não está isento de controvérsias: ele já foi condenado por corrupção e sentenciado a nove anos de prisão – embora a condenação tenha sido anulada e o promotor, que se tornou membro do gabinete de Bolsonaro, tenha agido com imparcialidade.

As ações e políticas de Jair Bolsonaro levaram a comparações com o ex-presidente dos EUA, Donald Trump. No período que antecedeu as eleições de 2022 no Brasil, Bolsonaro repetidamente declarou que não aceitará um resultado em que não seja o vencedor.

Neste vídeo, Phil Clarke-Hill explora o que a eleição brasileira significa para o Brasil e o mundo.
