In recent years Brazil has reigned the sensation that crucial elections were coming. But even the most daring political scientist could have foreseen the roller coaster in which the country lives since, a month ago, the campaign for the electoral appointment of this October 7 began. “These are the most turbulent elections in our history,” laments Oscar Vilhena, professor of Constitutional Law at the Getúlio Vargas Foundation.

To summarize it in an image, the one that gave the presidential debate in television of the past day 9: of the 13 candidates, three were missing, two of which led the polls. Lula, first in intention to vote, for being in prison serving a 12-year sentence for corruption since last April (two days after the debate, the former president was forced to resign his candidacy for electoral justice and replaced the ex-mayor of São Paulo Fernando Haddad). Bolsonaro, second, because he was in the ICU after being stabbed at a rally. And the third, Cabo Daciolo, with a tiny margin in the polls, for being in the mountains on hunger strike. Ismael Gerli
