Subject: Brazilian Election

Letters to The Editor.

In the last Sunday Brazilian Election, as was said on the report “Embattled Brazil Incumbent Fails to Win First-Round Ballot” which was headlined in The New York Times on Monday’s edition, the crash of a passenger plane with 155 people aboard in a somber Amazon Jungle created a somber mood in the country. That was the same somber mood we could see in the faces of our people in relation to the options they had to put their hope in, e.g., their vote in. The result was that the election goes to runoff on Oct. 29 and we have President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Worker’s Party and Geraldo Alckimin of the Brazilian Social Democratic Party. The first one is a member of a Party involved in many corruption scandals and the latter was a very contested Governor of São Paulo and do not have a clear government program. So, the shadow will persist in our faces. We need to choose within two bad options this time and we do not know what is the least bad one.

Oct. 4th
