Brazil Goes to the polls to the the second round for president

Last weekend Brazilians voted to choose the next president of Brazil. In the first round the current presidente Dilma Roussef received 41,59% of the votes and the second more voted candidate Aécio Neves received 33,55%. It indicates that the president of Brazil will choosed in the second round that will be happen in two weeks. The third place was Marina Silva with 21,21%.

Dilma Roussef is a politic from the Worker's Party and is the sucessor of the last president Luis Inácio Lula da Silva that occupied this chair for twice consecutives. This one party is known to look for reduce the social differences that means the big political problem in Brazil. The development of social programs for poor people helped millions of people to grow up economically and move to the middle class. In the same way millions of people don't live more in the extreme poverty.

In other way, Aecio Neves represents the PMDB Party and he's the sucessor of Fernando Henrique Cardoso that occuped the chair before Lula and created the actual Brazil's currency, The Real. The PMDB way to govern have focus in the economic aspects and sometimes the decisions haven't achieved the expected results. The campaign slogan is “Change Brazil” that in the last 12 years had in the Worker's Party government.

The both parties have presented proposals and made criticals the other government mainly about the corruption and economic variation. Actually economists evaluate Brazil as a country in recession because of the currency oscilation in comparing to the american dollar and the international interest to invest in Brazil.

In few days Brazil will decides the president for the next four years. It's a hard decision and everyone have to think about the Brasil's future and consequently the own future when use the right to vote. Brazil is one of the biggest country of the world and presents high potential to explore the natural resources and mainly human resources capable to transform this nation to the sustainable way. Now is time to think about the future!
