    Hello,

    A far-right, pro-gun, pro-torture populist has been elected as Brazil’s next president after a drama-filled and deeply divisive election that looks set to radically reforge the future of the world’s fourth biggest democracy.

    Jair Bolsonaro, a 63-year-old former paratrooper who built his campaign around pledges to crush corruption, crime and a supposed communist threat, secured 55.1% of the votes after 99.9% were counted and was therefore elected Brazil’s next president, electoral authorities said on Sunday.

    I don't know what to think about this. The problem of Bolsonaro is his behaviour toward native american and amazonian forest.
    If he manage to crush insecurity and corruption in Brazil it could be a huge win for Brazil.

    But I don't really believe that politician can change that much customs and morals of people.
