00:00And now we go to Rio de Janeiro with our special envoy, Belen de los Santos, with all the latest
00:07informations that come at this hour. From the state, go ahead, Bel, what do you have for us at this
00:12hour?
00:16Hello, Ale, exactly as you were saying, well, we have the election that has been finalized.
00:22The electoral authorities have stated that this is going into a second turn. This is what we are
00:29seeing. The difference ended up being it is still at around two percentage points, much less than
00:36what we had a few hours ago. Of course, we have again the tendency of the latest votes favoring
00:43Lula da Silva. But in this case, this breach concluded. And of course, we have Flavo y Bolsonaro
00:50at around 47 percentage points and also Lula da Silva at around or nearing 45 percentage points.
00:58This is a result close to what many polls were showing or closer to what many polls were showing
01:07for the second turn. So what we are seeing is an election that has anticipated the logic of the
01:15second turn or the runoff. That means that most people decided to vote as if these were the only
01:23two candidates just from the very beginning. This took out a lot of votes from other possible
01:29candidates and concentrated the efforts on Flavio Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva. Now, if we go to the
01:37election that was happening here in Rio de Janeiro, also going to a runoff, but with the candidate for
01:45the Liberal Party, Douglas Ruiz, almost reaching 50 percent. So there was almost a determination in
01:53this first turn for the governor of Rio de Janeiro as well. Finally, it ended going into a runoff,
02:01but Eduardo Paes, that was the candidate favored by President Lula da Silva, was leading in the polls
02:08by an important amount of points above Ruiz. And in this context, we see that the result has shifted
02:18the tendency that the originally the polls were showing. So from Rio de Janeiro and stronghold for
02:26Bolsonaroism, where this movement was practically born in terms of the origins of where the main
02:33reference came from, let's recall that Flavio Bolsonaro is the one of the seats to Senate that
02:39he is leaving right now for his candidacy to president. Those two seats of Senate that were
02:46determined at this moment and that were renewed for two Liberal Party candidates as well. So we have
02:54an election that has favored the Liberal Party, of course, and that is now leaving Brazil, leading into
03:01a runoff that will happen in October 25th. And we'll need to see one of the key aspects now is
03:09alliances.
03:10How will every each of the parties, including the coalition led by the Workers' Party of Lula da Silva,
03:18manage those remaining points to see who is going to win or who can win in October 25th? Ale.
03:29How significant is this turnout in understanding tonight's result?
03:37Well, an important matter because, of course, there was a significant amount of people who did not show up to
03:45vote.
03:45And this is a reflection of a broader issue that we have been seeing across the region. The crisis in
03:54terms of the political institutions,
03:57traditional and traditional and traditional political parties we have been seeing in the region has led to two major outcomes.
04:04First, the rising of outsiders, these people. And we can also play with Bolsonaro and Bolsonaroism in general, although we
04:14could say
04:15and we could argue Lula da Silva has argued that Flavio Bolsonaro is no longer truly an outsider. He does
04:22not have a political career, but he comes from that line that has been
04:27his father already sitting a former president, but he came as an outsider. And that is one of the consequences.
04:35We've seen it with Javier Millet. We've seen it with De la Espriella in Colombia. People who come not from
04:41the traditional political parties and political structures.
04:44And this is a reflection of the crisis of people's faith in political, traditional institutionality. Another of those symptoms is
04:53the lack of participation.
04:54So we could say that generally there is a trend in Latin America and also if we go broader around
05:00the world of people either voting someone who does not belong to the traditional structures or just refusing to vote
05:07altogether.
05:08That refusal, of course, is particularly harming projects that are trying to continue and to grow with an important amount
05:19of political history behind them.
05:21And that is the case of the Workers' Party led by Lula da Silva here in Brazil. So definitely those
05:27people who decided not to vote for any candidate was definitely one of the important factors to understand this election
05:35marked by polarization that we've witnessed here today.
05:40What is going to be the biggest question facing the country tomorrow?
05:49Well, the question that comes up tomorrow has to do with what will happen every day from tomorrow until October
05:5825th. It's a completely different run.
06:01One, the key will be set on the alliances that each coalition, each party will try to make in terms
06:09of gaining those votes. Also, probably an appeal to those people who did not go to vote in this first
06:18term.
06:18And we will see probably a broader aspect of what we have been seeing in the last few days.
06:26Let's recall that we have been saying we can think of this election day as a run up that was
06:31had ahead of time.
06:32So the characteristics of the run up, the polarization, the options of just the two candidates, we have been seeing
06:40those shifts in this first day of election.
06:43We will have more of that, more debate on the crucial topics, more debate regarding what it means for one
06:51model or the other and the possible consequences that the country and the region will be facing in terms of
06:59one or the other winning.
07:00And the every candidate, every party will try to appeal to as many voters out of the ones that they
07:08already got.
07:10But I'm sorry, I'm going to have to interrupt.
07:13President Luis Inazolula da Silva is offering statements at this hour. Let's listen.
07:28To show the true picture of Brazil.
07:35Of the Brazil of today and the Brazil of tomorrow.
07:38And as of tomorrow we are going to kick off a new campaign.
07:51The campaign between two candidates.
07:55So we will be able to show the differences between the answers that there are.
08:06The people, the Brazilian people, need to choose who are going to be the upcoming president
08:13and who is going to be winning the run of election.
08:16They have to choose a candidate to president and vice president, has led the biggest state
08:34of the nation.
08:43And on the other hand, we have a biography of a dark past.
08:57We don't see a bright future with him.
09:04Those were the statements at this hour from President Lizina Celula da Silva, candidate
09:10for re-election on the run-off election that is going to be taken place on October 25th.
09:16It's going to be on the hands of the people of Brazil to choose who they want for president.
09:22Those were his statements at this hour after the official results of today's election are
09:29at this moment being released with a confirmed run-off needed because none of the candidates
09:36achieve the majority of votes.
09:38So President Lizina Celula da Silva is going to be facing Flavia Bolsonaro, the far-right candidate.
09:53And other programs to guarantee the assistance of Brazilians.
10:01So we are going to keep strengthening the policies of social inclusion.
10:04No one in this country has the moral authority to speak about fiscal policies.
10:18Like the Agni colleague, such as we did here in Brazil.
10:24So we are a mandate that the nation reached its super habit, primary super habit, and the
10:33only country that overcame it.
10:37It was my government that reached great investments from around the world.
10:48It is important to highlight the seriousness with which we treated the economy in Brazil,
10:53in Brazil, knowing that we were not willing to...
11:03There's something that we need to know.
11:05We will have no cuts, fiscal cuts, that will harm the poorest of the nation and those most vulnerable.
11:23I have a team in real state with much abilities and I would have loved to win elections in the
11:35first round.
11:38But it is not my first time here in the 97th, in 2010, 2014, and I thought, and I went
11:49through this and it turned out...
11:53Do you know why?
11:56Because people likes me to be in the race.
12:08I'm a very good player in this final stretch.
12:14And let's see the projects that we have.
12:17I have...
12:18You with Ackman here with me.
12:23We know that we had a great level of abstentions.
12:2828 million people that didn't vote.
12:32So we are going to call them, for them, that this historical moment for Brazilians,
12:38the vote is necessary to define the future of this country.
12:43That is why, in one month, you will have one free day to discuss with your colleagues.
12:58And on Tuesday, prepare, because we are going to contest.
13:30I don't know if my colleague...
13:31You and me would like to say something, but I want to say something.
13:36We are just kicking off this game.
13:39We are in the final stretch.
13:48The people of the Lord must know the importance of us to keep continuing the project of development,
13:54social, scientific, the exploitation of rare earths and critical minerals,
14:01because of the new discoveries that Petrobras has made regarding oil.
14:07And we are going to show what will be the new industry and the growth of industry that we have
14:14had.
14:17Because we are going to have the opportunity to apply this.
14:26Even how to lose weight, you are going to have that for free in your healthcare service.
14:40People need to work out, and if they do not have a chance, we are going to help them in
14:52a healthy way,
14:53on how to lose weight in a healthy way.
14:58So we are in the first phase of the Brazilian tournament.
15:05And in the second phase, the second phase is going to be with Lula and Agmin as the winners of
15:11these elections.
15:21President Lula and myself, we are constituents.
15:25And it was in the constitution in which it was approved, the run of election,
15:34how Brazil has pluripartitism and it is part as well of what is established in the Brazilian constitution.
15:44And as President Lula said, the people has the opportunity to vote on two occasions for Lula.
15:55We thank the votes that we have received, but we will come stronger with playing energies.
16:04So as of tomorrow, we will have the campaign for the turn of election and we will speak about the
16:08future.
16:09We were through a demographic change.
16:13Brazil has a very elderly population, but who can do more for healthcare?
16:23Those who led to 720,000 deaths during COVID or the government of President Lula,
16:31who was one of the authorities that give priority to life, to health, for the population.
16:42President, we had also a moment of technological change.
16:46Who would be able to do more for education?
16:58So those were the statements at this hour from President Luis Ignacio Lula,
17:03the candidate for re-election and his running mate.
17:07Also at this hour in which they were saying that this is the beginning of the second phase of the
17:14run of election.
17:15There also is a call for those who were part of the abstentions in today's elections.
17:24And President Lula said, we are going to speak directly to you to get you to understand the importance of
17:30your vote in the final results.
17:33Also, President Lula said, who is going to be able to do more for education, for healthcare, for technology?
17:40And also recall those deaths, those regrettable deaths that happened during the COVID-19 pandemic under the mismanagement of President
17:50Jair Bolsonaro.
17:52Alsoベース.
