Brasília (AFP) – President Jair Bolsonaro was not the only one to have a surprisingly strong night in Brazil's elections Sunday: the far-right incumbent's allies also beat expectations in congressional and governor's races.
Political analysts say that means hardline conservatives will be powerful players in the Latin American giant's new political landscape, weakening leftist front-runner Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and his Workers' Party (PT), even if he beats Bolsonaro in the October 30 presidential runoff.
Here is a look at some of the big wins for "Bolsonarismo":
Congress Bolsonaro's Liberal Party (PL) is on track to be the largest party in the lower house of Congress, according to analysts.
Its newly elected congressmen include some of Bolsonaro's most controversial allies:
- Ex-environment minister Ricardo Salles won a seat for Sao Paulo. He presided over a surge in destruction in the Amazon rainforest and was forced to resign last year after coming under investigation for involvement in a timber trafficking scheme.
- Ex-health minister Eduardo Pazuello won a seat for Rio de Janeiro. The army general oversaw Brazil's response to Covid-19 during the worst phase of the pandemic, when hundreds of thousands of people died and severe oxygen shortages brought the health system in the northern city of Manaus to the brink of collapse.
- PL candidate Nikolas Ferreira, a 26-year-old social media personality, was the most-voted congressman-elect in the country, winning 1.4 million votes.

Brazil is standing against the World Economic forum of Klaus Schwab and his organization of world leaders for the Great Socialist Reset?
Well, effing fancy that!
Brazilians know about freedom. They would not allow Cuba and Castro to take it away, and they sure as hell will not allow Klaus Schwab and his lightwiegt losers like Biden and Trudeau take it away.
Celebrate! America is next.
So the So called far right wins all those seats but Bolsanaro still has less votes?
Sounds like more smartmatic corruption
Perhaps it is time to stop using leftist terminology to describe our side. Not Far Right.
CONSERVATIVE!

Sounds suspiciously like a certain 2020 "coattails with no coat" election somewhere nearby...
Greenwald lives in Brazil? Interesting..
Also, if one opposes the globalist WEF, would be dictators like Schwab, Soros, True-dolt, Rutte and Gates and all their anti-family, anti-country ideas, one if ‘far right’. Common sense is now ‘far right’.
> Greenwald lives in Brazil? Interesting..
Yes, he’s a citizen of the U.S. but he moved to Brazil in 2005. I think he lives in Rio.
