Panel discussion: Elections in Brazil. Will Bolsonaro’s rule end?
29. September 2022 | 18:30 – 20:30 | LAI 

The whole world will be watching Brazil on October 2, as 148 million eligible citizens will be called upon to elect the president and the national congress of Latin America’s largest country and economy. The incumbent president is running against the candidate of the Workers‘ Party, former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Brazilians will not only decide on the next head of state and government, but on the future of their democracy. The discussion will bring together renowned experts to analyse the disastrous record of Bolsonaro, the possible outcome of the election and potential consequences of a renewed Lula administration.
