4:18 That's a bit historically incorrect. Brazil's traditional political elite come from agriculture since before the Empire years. São Paolo was a coffe production powerhouse state while Minas Gerais was one for cattle. They were most powerful states getting the most privilleged power postions once Brazil became it's own country as well. "Costal States" such as Rio and Penanbuco had their power too but not as much as Minas and São Paulo and even Rio Grande do Sul who are powerful specifically for their agro power. Agro was always were power laid in Brazil.

WE ARE UNITED AGAINST CORRUPTION FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM.

Tabata Amaral, posing with João Campos the young guy 20:13 that is a descendant of one of the richest families in Brazil's northeast (Campos / Arraes) an oligarchy where cousins fight each other for power in their home state. As you can see, brazilian politics are not for amateurs.

Times have changed and now crypto market is all about pump and dump leaving retailers as bag holders. Bag holders turned to long term investors will still bag hold and bitcoin might go to zero. There is too much news, too many analysts, too many factors, too many firms, insiders influencing it's price. Retailer money is being sucked. I've made $550k combined net this year and paid no Federal taxes. Thanks to George Stewart's trading services.

Brazil ☀️

I'm a foreigner living in Brazil and I can tell you for a fact that most of the news you see on foreign media does not reflect the realities of the ground.

.... 17:41 "Orlando Silva is an influential lawmaker and close ally of Lula"..... just forgot to mention that he is from the Comunist Party! To describe him simply as a "Federal Lawmaker" is ridiculous. Let people know who support the "return of the criminal ex-president to the crime scene" - words from his current vice president two years ago. Yeah, they are allies now.

2:57 A divided country interests many. If the decade had not been lost, Brazil would be among the most influential today. Bolsonaro was elected with corporate support.

This is the lowest point we have reached with our Democracy. Choosing between two corrupt populists is an insane thing, voting for the null option and desperately seeking out a democratic opposition group is the only option left to preserve our democracy for the next four years. Not all Brazilians participate in this circus between an almost autocrat and one who is inspired by Latin American dictators for their respective power projects. The first man who appeared in the video, Felipe D'Ávila, was one of the best candidates we had along with a social democrat, Ciro Gomes, but polarization forced us to the two worst candidates.The two current corrupts who compete in the second round will never be an option. Deus tenha Misericórdia dessa Nação

People of the world: what was shown in this documentary is the real face of Brazil. Not beaches, football and carnaval.

Tabata Amaral is in no way akin to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Alexandria is a textbook left-wing populist while Tabata has serious concerns about fiscal responsability, so much that she voted for pensions reform, which was so unique amongst representatives of the left in Brazil that many still accuse her of being a right winger despite all her other progressive stances on most subjects. She thinks we need to worry about indicriminate spending while also focusing investments on social areas which are lacking. We need more like her. Besides that, excellent report from FT.

Poor Brazil. The crazies cheated and want the people to shut up😢.

In bolsonaro’s brazil the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. It’s a tragedy and you can clearly see why his electorates are mostly white rich farmers and enterpreneurs while lula's are the poor mostly who are currently back living in precarious conditions, as mentioned in the video, there's over 33 million people facing hunger while in 2021 alone, brazil got 40 new billionaires.

Thank you for the content!

6:51 he looks really comfortable riding that horse 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣

21:36 From "Get guns to protect your houses" to "Get guns to shoot the opposition"

Brazil is being censored, help 🇧🇷🙏

Lucid and realistic analysis of the current Brazilian political situation, especially with regard to the development of regions linked to agribusiness compared to the economic decline of coastal industrial regions. In Brazil we tend to only look at our own belly button as we are a very large and very complex nation. However, obviously what happens in the world also has internal repercussions in Brazil. The development of agribusiness in the Cerrado began in the 70's, during the Military Dictatorship, but certainly the rise of China and the Asian Tigers, great demanders of food commodities, generated an economic power, and consequently political, unparalleled in the rural regions of the Brazil. The Brazilian industry has been slowly dying since the consolidation of the globalization process. It was an industry built facing inwards, for the quasi-monopolistic exploitation of the internal market, little open to competition. With the globalization of markets and the technological revolution, it has become an obsolete and unproductive industry, which is languishing, despite all the protection, subsidies and lobbying power. Agribusiness, in turn, little protected, little subsidized and exposed to the global market, became increasingly productive and dynamic. You managed to capture the essence of this division, which is not only political, but also economic and cultural between coastal and industrial Brazil and the Brazil of agribusiness. And this clash between these two Brazils coincides with a time of cultural wars and an identity agenda in the western world.

Government coruption should be a death sentence.

As a citizen, i have no words to describe how shame is to my country pursuit such instability and also immaturity in politics. hope one day this country get back on the line of respect and prosperity, despite all ideology war that is occurring nowadays.

"If you look back to all presidential candidates (...) the only two that created movements around their personas were Lula and Bolsonaro" WHAT?!?!?!?! And what about Vargas, you Einstein?

May the commitment for the preservation and improvement of Democracy prevail over the backward and reactionary authoritarian movements and forces, which despise the fact that we are in the 21st century, when the authoritarian and negationist personality, the recalcitrant attitude and the narrow-minded mentality no longer have any place.

It is very interesting to see how people have sold the Catholic faith of their ancestors for an imported evangelical one for a handful of dollars...

Good morning, good afternoon or even good night. I don't know what time you will read what I write, but... as a Brazilian citizen I will point out some reasons why I want to see Lula da Silva and his collaborators arrested. I'll start with the simple ones: In my belief, Christianity. We believe there is repentance. When you make a mistake like this gentleman made a mistake, the least that can be admitted is the mistakes, which in this case are countless. This gentleman should have at least made a Mea Culpa in relation to his mistakes, unfortunately the lack of scruples makes him simply divert from subjects when the responsibility is conferred on him ("I don't know anything"). The PT is Lula and Lula is the PT. I am against the deification of any personality, the end of it is: the ruin of that personality. I'm Anti-PT. I consider this party a faction, I had the displeasure of working on various campaigns in the state of Rio and outside it making jingles and working with the people of marketing agencies. I was able to meet some leaders from Rio, and when I went to São Paulo I was in the ABC, I saw that unfortunately the same system of shady negotiations and political patronage to which they so discriminate, was an official practice. It is the party that had the best conditions to provide improvements in the quality of life of our population, but instead, preferred to shield itself in a summit and ignore all those who did not agree with its attitudes, aiming only at power. Lula changed his convictions as it suited him electorally. His often contradictory actions cast doubt on whether he had any country projects. But wouldn't the former president have been right in adapting to different situations, giving them different answers and almost always ensuring high growth? Not. As we have seen, none of the fundamentals for lasting growth were a priority under his administration. Many strategic mistakes were made, mistakes that would only be felt in the medium term, during the troubled (to say the least) management of Dilma. When “Nine Fingers” took over, Brazil was in full condition to expand its potential. The president did nothing, but sold as if he had. He was underhanded. He handed over the country essentially as he found it, if not worse. It was careless. He entered the government as a champion of honesty. But according to the understanding of justice, in reality he was corrupt. Regardless of what one thinks of Lula's character, it is necessary to recognize that his management was, at the very least, silent and inefficient. There is, on the part of many, the belief that the Lula government was apotheotic, a sudden change towards success, and that “never in the history of this country” has the country been so prosperous. None of this is true. The ex-president was able to construct this narrative, drawing on his base of loyal voters, who had bet on him since 1989. He is a thief

Bolsonaro is the Brazilian Duterte. Vote him out before it's too late because there is such a thing as too late, as no matter how hopeful tomorrow can be, some people don't make it to tomorrow.

God bless the people of Brazil. God will bless those who bless Israel. And will curse those who curse Israel.,..,

wonderful documentary，better than reading articles on Economist

BRAZIL is a nice country and BOLSONARO is the best president of the last 4 Years. He is not perfect but everyone will agree that he is a patriot. 🇧🇷 Our economy now is much better.

Awesome content

Great reporting

As a brazilian I'm ashamed about what have been going on here since 2019, the hatred, political violence and threats to the democracy are leading this nation to caos.

Like in the middle age, politics related church.... Oh boy

Misinformation!

Bolsonaro the best of Brazil

Superb and detailed. The FT should set up a TV channel. It will be one of the best in the world with the calibre of your journalists.

Bolsonaro 22 🇧🇷

Felipe D’Avila it was our best option but my people it is not ready to change their mind to a total liberal economic and let our economy grow naturally.

Brazil 🎉🎉🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Congratulations on the unbiased view of the reality brazil is going through! Unbiased news sources are getting harder and harder to find..

So many liers being interviewed.

No, definitely Tabata Amaral is not our version of AOC

situation in Brazil is complicated. leftist government has 19 people convicted of curruption talking on ministries.

This was a non-biased documentary. I wish more of them wereas such.

meus amigos, vocês estão muito errados em sua análise, a divergência de pensamento é a fortaleza da democracia, quando um país deixa de conviver com essa divergência é que a democracia morre, foi assim na Alemanha Nazista, foi assim na Venezuela atual.

Hello, I am Brazilian, and I am experiencing everything that was reported in this short documentary about the political situation in my beloved Brazil, I disagree with some parts, Lula is not a Social Democrat he is totally focused on Communism, the hunger situation we are in living today reflects the 8-year term of Lula's government and 6 years of Dilma Russef's successor. Brazil was handed over to President Jair Bolsonaro bankrupt, so much so that Lula was sentenced in three stays and imprisoned, why? Because it was, he and his party who plundered Brazil, the state-owned companies went bankrupt and started thousands of infrastructures works in the country and did not finish any. At no point did the documentary report that a maneuver by the federal supreme court invalidated the conviction to release and make Lula eligible again in a trumped-up judicial maneuver. They used the covid-19 pandemic to, through the rotten Brazilian media, all of which were financed with public money, and which suffered huge cuts in their revenues after the inauguration of Jair Bolsonaro, whoever pays the media in Brazil has the people under control, as a way of building a bad image of President Jair Bolsonaro. There was never polarization in Brazil because the parties that existed were two sides of the same coin. Today we have a clearer division of ideological conflicts because there is really a differentiation in the management of the country. Brazil needs infrastructure works, so that it can grow again and improve economically, the medicine for the cure of the Brazilian economy is unfortunately bitter, but 4 years to undo all the evil that was done after 14 years of the workers' party in power It's little, it's impossible.

2:00 Calling bolsonaro a right wing politician and lula a social democrat show the vastly disproportional way in which the media treats those candidates is why people sitting on the fence move in favour of bolsonaro. You have to acknowledge lulas position.

The bottom line for Brazil 🇧🇷: If Lula wins the election and Bolsonaro does not accept defeat then we will social upheavals. If Bolsonaro wins the election and Lula does not accept defeat then will see social upheavals. Brazil in a very fragile situation for now. This situation in Brazil depends on the actions and narrative of two men: Lula and Bolsonaro. Greetings from Germany...🍺🖐

"Lula was embroyled in the car wash corruption scandal and served time in prison... Legal history aside" I would consider that to be a little more than legal history, more like a discrediting factor for someone seeking public office.

Venham todos pro Brasil precisamos de imigrantes temos milhões de postos de trabalho e temos muita água limpa e muita comida todos são bem-vindos no Brasil 😊

Brazil is no longer a democracy. It's important to the world to know.

O Brazil. Surfando. Na. "Comodities. "E. Enriquecendo. O. Agro. E. O. Povo. Passando. Fome🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Bolsonaro 💛💚💖

it's very hard to watch this as a Brazilian. So sad.

Bolsonaro o melhor presidente do Brasil 🇧🇷

Goiás eo Texas do Brasil

Very good video, im from brazil, thanks for the job, very serious and not for any side or other.

Jair Bolsonaro is the best choice at this point...

Im amazed about this News, JAIR BOLSONARO is THE BEST PRESIDENT WE EVER HAD! NO CORRUPTION!

Great documentary with a fair and unbiased view.

This is by far the best reporting of the current situation I've seen so far. And I love the unbiased view that shows both candidates for what they are, without demonizing one side over the other. Both of them are terrible choices to lead the country, and whatever happens the situation will only get worse.

A brasil um país tão rico e tão pobre ao mesmo tempo😢

Lula os a convict. In addition, one cannot talk about the current situation in Brazil without taking into account the fact that the Supreme Court no longer respects the constitution, the division and independence of the Three Powers, the Public Prosecutor's Office, the legal due process, and acts as a political agent. Alexandre de Moraes ignored the constitutional right of parliamentary immunity of deputies and started to arrest, suspend out of office and blocked their accounts on social networks. He ignored the popular vote and ousted mayors and governors he considers opposition under the allegation of anti-democratic actions. He also ignored the legal due process by acting as a victim, whistleblower, investigator, prosecutor and judge of ordinary citizens. As President of the Electoral Court, he was partial to Lula to the detriment of the opposition candidate.- This being the reason for the population's revolt.- He implemented prior censorship. All these actions are expressly prohibited by the constitution. Who is attacking Brazil’s democracy? The only possible comparison with current events is with what happened in VENEZUELA. Comparing them to the US is a fallacy, misinformation and an act of bad faith. Brazil has become a judiciary dictatorship. Not to mention that Lula is still a convict condemned in ALL criminal instances and was NOT supposed to be eligible to run for presidency. That was only made “possible” through a conning maneuver done by the Supreme Court. Thus, Lula is an ILLEGIMATE President. PLEASE GET THE FACTS FIRST.

Propaganda! No matter, the poor people's hopes are for a Lula win! But there is only one thing that can change anything and that is a revolution! All power to the working class and the poor of Brazil.

A qualidade do conteúdo e da produção desse vídeo é incrível! Me surpreendeu demais.

Isso E Mentira！Vcs Os Odeiam Pq Ele Nos Mostrou A Verdade Ok ，Ele E Amado Pela Maioria Do Povo Brasileiro，Inclusive Mulheres 🙄😤

Dude was talking about hunger at 1:13 and the boy got apple. *confused*

I'm a Brazilian citizen. Bolsonaro in his propraganda emphasizes the ideological subjects because his economical agenda is extremely harmful to poor people. The most of population that votes for him is composed by middle classs, people who is harmed by government actions also, but thinks they are not dependet on governamental policies. In general, Paulo Guedes, Economy Minister has great affection for bankers, bussinessmen and finacial investors.

BIASED, R.I.P real journalism!

Excellent video!

GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BOLSONARO AND BRAZILLIAN PEOPLE. 1 MILLION PEOPLE ON THE PAULIST AVENUE.

SOCORROOOOOOO

Poor countries : cult of personality instead of consensual pragmatism. Nobody in Brazil seems to be looking at their southern neighbour, Uruguay, which seems to have embraced consensual pragmatism and is actually on its way to becoming if not a rich country ... at least a manageable country. When it comes to Brazil .... it's been a mess for a long time and it doesn't seem like it's going to become any less messy.

bourgeois press: a gluteal cleft

Brazil's problems is much bigger. only as an example we work 6 months per year to pay taxes, the Brazilian state turn from servant to master.

Ave Império do Brasil I'll never lose my faith in my country get united again Think, and vote.

As a brazilian this video is ridiculous and totally biased.

Deus, Familia e Brasil! #Bolsonaro2022

BOLSONARO PRESIDENTE 💒🇧🇷

Brazil loves Bolsonaro! Because is a good man!

The game is the corruption, aganist the strong man.

Democracy vs.facism 👍 Saludo desde 🇲🇽🇲🇽

Our white Brazilian CTO, who has lived outside of Brazil since the late 80s, used to say that no racism exists in Brazil, whatsoever 😂 and whenever I pushed against a number of facts, he would freak out and get angry. It was hilarious.

Brasil nunca entendeu nada desse trem de brejil Essa é á história , bom dia !

The FT brings out such good media! I cannot believe how americanised Brazil is!

its not divided. only the press is divided.

Bolsonaro is the best presidente of Brazil 🇧🇷

i am brazilian, and i live here. i lived here all my life, thank God. We are not divided. you exagerate. There has been political poles here since 1994. why ypu didn't noticed? because that's how we disagree; peacefully and orderly. i understand you make money by selling blood. a sad burden, though.

There is a misinterpretation at the end of the documentary that the interior is thriving and the coast is impoverished. The poor girl in the video is from São Paulo, the richest state in the country. And in the less developed and more agriculture-dependent parts, poverty also predominates. The only people getting rich there are the owners of large lands.

Lula was literally in Jail

que tistreza

Triste e saber ou ignorar os Fatos! It’s watch a movie twice expecting a different end!! Nao precisa ir longe….as informacoes estao ao Alcance de todos…!

Fantastic! I wish everybody in Brazil could had watched before October , the 1st and before October, the 30th. The best documentary video about my country because is unbiased view. Congrats!

We are fucked up. This nation having to choose between this crazies is a tragedy.

0:14 this is an outright lie. I dare anyone to find he saying such a thing. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Amazing content! I loved it this documentary 😍

For those who don't know Brazil and don't live here, I'll update you on our current context. We are disputing an election between two extremes, on the one hand is Jair Bolsonaro who is extreme right, defends freedom of expression, family, religious freedom, believes in God, is against criminals, against abortion, and in favor of carrying guns. . On the other hand, we have Lula, a former president who was imprisoned for two years for involvement in one of the biggest corruption schemes in the world, which is in favor of abortion, in favor of drug liberation, wants to implant gender ideology in schools (teaching about sex since kindergarten), which wants to reduce the severity of petty crimes such as cell phone theft and house theft, is against churches, Christian religions, is against the family, and of course wants to regulate the media, so that in this way no one else can take him out of power. I hope I have been able to clarify the reason for the war we are living. And feminists who walk naked on the street vote for Lula, part of the LGBT is also in favor of Lula because the leftist media created, in an attempt to demoralize President Jair Bolsonaro, a narrative that he does not like gays, because in fact he said that would not like to have a gay son, but he has gay friends and for him they are normal people like any other and which person's sexual option does not matter to him. Another group that is also in favor of Lula are civil servants, as one of Jair Bolsonaro's previous promises was to privatize several state companies in order to reduce expenses and thus be able to make better investments, because here in Brazil in the public sector, the Employees end up having a great security that they "can't" be dictated after being hired, so to do the job of one person, sometimes we need 5 people. For example, street sweepers sometimes have 6 on a street, there are 2 on the street and 4 on the wheel chatting, and our money being thrown in the trash, and this extends to health, education and other public departments. Anyway, the summary is this, on one side conservatism on the other socialism mixed with communism. May God bless us and keep us.

In my opinion, in a democracy the race or gender of a politician is irrelevant. Want more female politicians? Vote female. Want more pardo politicians? Vote according to skin color. This is a non issue and to pretend otherwise is the same as calling the electorate stupid.

An AOC for Brazil will be as bad as that in America.

🤦🤦🤦
