Wahl

Brazil is holding a runoff election to decide the country's next president. The second round comes after no candidate secured a majority in the initial vote, with voters choosing between the top two contenders for the presidency. The outcome is being closely watched in Germany and internationally given Brazil's political and economic weight.

German public broadcaster Tagesschau is examining whether the Bolsonaro family could return to power in Brazil's election. The piece asks whether Jair Bolsonaro or his family members can regain political ground, a question watched closely abroad given Bolsonaro's legal troubles and the polarisation of Brazilian politics. German audiences are following the race because of its implications for Brazil's democratic direction.
