Brazil votes in election seen as decisive for Latin America
Original: Brazil goes to polls in decisive election for future of Latin America
Brazilians are heading to the polls in an election being framed as pivotal for the country and the wider region. The vote pits the leftwing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva against Flávio Bolsonaro, son of jailed former president Jair Bolsonaro, in a contest between left and far-right visions that commentators say will shape Latin America's political direction.
Why now: A national vote with regional consequences, pitting Brazil's sitting leftwing president against the far-right opposition, is drawing wide attention.
