Telesur's Brian Mier on Brazil Presidential Elections: There Is No Evidence of Vote Stealing in the First Round

Caracas, Oct 15, 2022 (OrinocoTribune.com)—In an special show conducted by Orinoco Tribune's editor, Jesus Rodriguez-Espinoza, we had the pleasure of interviewing journalist Brian Mier. He is originally from Chicago but is currently based in Sao Paulo. 

Brian is Telesur English correspondent in Brazil and co-editor of Brasil Wire. His almost 30 years living in Brazil make him a leading voice on Brazilian issues for English speakers worldwide.

During the interview we walked through the following issues:

1- Possible electoral results, taking into consideration recent important endorsements like those from Ciro Gomez and Simone Tebet, but also recently raised denunciations of voting stealing as well as the manipulation of religion to favor Bolsonaro.
2- Balance of power within Brazil, paying attention to correlation of forces within the Congress, the military, media and real relevance of grassroot movements.
3- International developments impacting the electoral debate but also the impact of a possible victory of Luis Ignacio Lula Da Silva in the retake of progressive governments in Latin America and the prospects of new lawfare campaigns against him.
