Or will Brazil have Lula for a fourth turn?

Will Brazil swing back to Bolsonarism this autumn? Brazilians head for the polls on October 4th, and two presidential candidates steal most of the attention.

Incumbent Lula da Silva competes for a fourth non-consecutive term as the country's president. His main competitor is Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro - now convicted on attempted coup and serving prison time.

Our panel will discuss the upcoming election, both the presidential and the less-covered local and legislative elections, as well as the recent supreme court scandal - and position this year's Brazilian election in a larger context.
