BRAZIL VOTE FAR RIGHT BOLSONARO

Sunday's Brazillian presidential election was won by former army Captain Jair Bolsonaro. He got 55 % votes. Whilst left wing Fernando Haddad obtained 45 %. Brazillians voted for promises made by divisive presendent elect Bolsonaro. He campaigned on fighting crime and corruption. Giving easy access to gun ownership , promotion of private enterprise and reducing government involvement in business. This is a man who described a lady as too ugly to be raped. He supported military dictatorship of Brazil. And wished opponents of dictatorship killed. Brazil must be under a mirage. Bolsonaro is unstable , and incapable of making good his promises for better Brazil and jobs for them. Jair Bolsonaro is called Trump of Tropics. He says he will pull Brazil out of Paris Climate Change Group as did Trump. He is racist , anti women and anti gay rights. Trump finds him a suitable friend. Trump has already spoken to him. And said he could do business with president elect of Brazil. The two are conservatives , capitalists to the core and talk unguarded. And very irrational many a time. Lula da Silva , former president of Brazil is in jail for corruption charges which he denies. Lula was left wing presidential candidate for the presidential election before he was imprisoned. Fernando replaced Lula last minute. Lula could have emerged winner if allowed to contest. Many believe his trial and conviction was done to prevent him from participating in the presidential contest. Brazil has been under the leftist party for a number of years. Bolsonaro is politically inexperienced. January 1 , 2019 shall be inauguration of Bolsonaro as president of Brazil. Brazil is ethnically diverse with people of African , European and American blood and indigenous peoples in Amazon Region of Brazil. The country is vast and rich naturally.
