In the analysis of the German Der Spiegel, with two sent to Brazil, “Bolsonaro loses — and is still the winner” (reproduction below). He becomes “stronger in the second round against Lula”.
In the analysis of the American Bloomberg, he “has the momentum”, momentum, “before the second round”. It was also the expression used by the analyzes of the English The Economist and Financial Times. For this one, “Bolsonaro may have finished second, but his 43.2% take him into the second round with new momentum.”
Bloomberg reports that “Brazilian assets soar as the race reaches the second round”. He explains that “investors applauded Bolsonaro’s display and are betting that his left-wing opponent will be forced to moderate his positions”. But the FT already counters:
“Investors were encouraged, believing that Lula will have to move more to the center. Some believe that a Bolsonaro victory and more market-friendly policies are now possible. will be disappointed. The second round will bring more polarization and a greater risk of violence.”
In general, the analyzes say that Bolsonarism “is here to stay”.
The French Le Monde and the English The Guardian, newspapers usually identified with the center-left, point out that “Lula disappoints” and the result “is disappointing for the left”, although the former president remains “favorite”.
Media identified with the center-right, such as the German Die Welt, assess “Bolsonaro’s spectacular return” as a risk for Europe:
“There’s a lot at stake. Berlin and Brussels bet everything on Lula by preventing the ratification of the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement, to punish Bolsonaro for his deforestation policy. Now, Europeans need a resource-rich South America.”
Interestingly, the Latin America columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Mary O’Grady, sent to São Paulo, publishes a critical analysis of Lula, but also of Bolsonaro, both treated as “populism”. Conservative, she sees the president’s hope for moderation:
“He made many mistakes. His confrontational and often vulgar style, including criticism of the Supreme Court, fuels negative reactions. By questioning the voting system, he made it easier for critics — offended by his crass manners and his resistance to environmental activism — to classify him. as ‘undemocratic’. October 30th will give him a second chance to win over the electorate.”
