He notes that the candidates appear “more resigned than assertive”, and points out that one of them invokes a divine calling to enter the race.
Germano Almeida mentions the repeated attacks against the incumbent candidate. He also considers that the statement by candidate Gilson Alves reveals a deeper unease, and cites the president of the union of public prosecutors, who openly voiced concern about a possible loss of salary benefits.
This column appears as the campaign began before 15 November (the presidential campaign) and as 145 international observers follow the vote (145 international observers).
