Far right on the march and Lula’s failures: key drivers of Flávio Bolsonaro’s Brazil surge
Experts say strength of evangelical church and stubbornness of Lula, 80, also helped propel Jair Bolsonaro’s son to first-round election win On Sunday night, as the scale of the far-right triumph in Brazil sank in, an adapted football chant rang out in one of Rio’s most leftwing areas.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as a far-right surge centered on Flávio Bolsonaro and Lula’s weaknesses, and both present it as an election-driven political shift rather than a single-policy story. The Guardian US uniquely foregrounds expert explanations such as the evangelical church and perceptions that Lula is too old, while France 24 uniquely asks whether voters care about attempted coups and references Jair Bolsonaro’s father in the extract.
