Making sense of global challenges

Will Brazil swing back to Bolsonarism this autumn?  Brazilians head for the polls on 4 October, and two presidential candidates steal most of the attention.
Incumbent Lula da Silva competes for a fourth non-consecutive term as the country’s president. His main opponent is Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro – now convicted for attempted coup and serving prison time.
