Bolsonaro's 2018 Presidential Campaign - What Will It Mean?
Bolsonaro was stabbed while campaigning in 2018 and had to do much of his work from hospital. But due to his strong social media presence and the unpopularity of his rivals, he achieved 55% of the national vote during the 2018 election. Many of his other actions as president have been controversial. He supported tough law and order policies which appealed to Brazilians concerned about rising crime. And he supported conservative policies against gay rights and abortion rights - this appealed to growing number of evangelical Christians in Brazil. There are fears that he will not accept defeat if Lula wins on October 30th just like Donald Trump in 2020.
