Elections will be held in Brazil on October 4, 2026, against a backdrop of the Latin American oligarchy aligning itself with the United States — a development closely tied to Trump’s interference in the elections held during his second term. This is not a new practice in Washington; what is different is the brazenness with which it is now declared. Trump has already announced his preference for Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of Jair Bolsonaro, who is running as the candidate of the Liberal Party (PL), against the incumbent president, Lula, of the Workers Party (PT). This is an analysis of Brazil’s electoral landscape by Cuban writer and historian Ernesto Limia.
