Which is worth more: the support of great politicians or of great names in the economy, linked to the stabilization of the currency?
This was the movement seen in the last few days after the first round: while Jair Bolsonaro (PL) won over many governors who won the dispute already last Sunday (2), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) brought to his side the so-called “Parents of Plano Real”, such as former minister Pedro Malan, Pérsio Arida and Edmar Bacha, in addition to the declared support of former presidential candidate Simone Tebet (MDB).
With just over two weeks until the second round, how much have these policies of approximation seen votes and what are the differences between them?
What political scientists say is that they are different values, which balance the value of currency stability and the value of good governance, as well as what poses a greater threat to the future: neglecting the economy or democracy?
The financial market has its thermometers. The dollar has been a good gauge of the limit investors are willing to put up with in the face of so many doubts, both about what is an uncertainty with Bolsonaro – the good relationship with institutions – and with Lula – the economic conduct.
the episode of CNN Money this Friday (7th) discusses what is most important for the markets and what are the differences in perception between both movements, also from the perspective of the general electorate.
Presented by Thais Herédia and Priscila Yazbek, CNN Money presents a balance of news issues that influence markets, finances and the direction of society and power dynamics in Brazil and worldwide.
