On the eve of the general elections in Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro took a mass bath to close their campaigns.

On October 4, Brazilians will come to the polls to decide whether the country joins the right-hand turn that crosses much of the region or whether Lula da Silva gets re-election. Bolsonaro's followers maintain the hope that Brazil will support their candidate; on the other hand, dressed in red, Lula's sympathizers also trust the victor.
