Summary

Rafael Cortez analyzes the 2026 Brazilian presidential election, arguing that polarization between Lula and Bolsonaro (Flávio) will persist, with no viable third way. He attributes this to deep societal division and the difficulty for alternative candidates to gain traction, framing it as part of a global trend of right-wing renewal.
