Brazilians were voting Sunday in a polarizing presidential runoff election that pits an incumbent vowing to safeguard conservative Christian values against a former president promising to return the country to a more prosperous past.
Da Silva has specifically criticized Bolsonaro for the nation's fallen stature abroad, highlighting the dearth of state visits and bilateral meetings.
His four years in office have been marked by proclaimed conservatism and defense of traditional Christian values. He claimed that his rival's return to power would usher in communism, legalized drugs, abortion and On Sunday, Livia Correia and her husband, Pedro, brought her two young kids to a voting station in Rio's Copacabana neighborhood, where Bolsonaro supporters regularly rally. They all wore green-and-yellow shirts. Livia, 36, said she voted for Bolsonaro because he defends the things she holds dear:"family values, God and freedom of expression."
