00:00And as Brazil heads to a runoff after a tight first run, our special info in Rio de Janeiro,
00:04Belén de los Santos, has sought reactions to these results. Let's see.
00:09The first round in Brazil closed with far-right Flavio Bolsonaro in the lead over President Lula
00:15da Silva by a margin of just under two percentage points. Both now head into the runoff with the
00:21odds favoring the Liberal Party. It was alarming. We didn't imagine that there would be this result.
00:29We knew it would be tight, but we have hope too.
00:37Sadness, depression, suffering. It's very, very bad to find yourself in a far-right country where the
00:41candidate in front of you is a bad person. I'm happy. I'm younger, but with a lot of experience
00:48in the market, with a lot of hope. Speaking of Lula and Flavio, my vote is Flavio.
00:56Although the turnout was similar to recent elections, many see the key to the runoff in
01:00the tens of millions who did not vote.
01:03I believe we have to look for those who didn't vote. The abstention rate was very high. There
01:10were 33 million people who didn't vote.
01:14Others say that campaigns' abilities to communicate clearly will be decisive in winning back people's
01:19confidence. We need to hear. We want the candidates to express their positions and tell us what
01:26they have to offer. For the left, the path is particularly steep. Still, with less than three
01:33weeks to go and a margin of less than two points, many are ready to intensify their efforts.
01:40I would like to have hope to try to fight, to change these votes, to try to show people.
01:44But my belief is that people don't want to see. They really chose this path.
01:51We need to change this picture. We can't give up the game. There are 20 days left. We have to
01:55think
01:55day and night, minute by minute, and move forward. We can't give up the militancy.
02:01The Brazilian runoff will take place on October 25th,
02:04to decide the next president of the region's largest economy.
