Elections in Brazil: the struggle for the powerful vote of the evangelics
In Brazil, the evangelics make up over 47 million people, about 27% of the population. It is the highest level in the history of Brazil, a country, which at the same time has the largest number of Catholic faithful in the world. In 2018, the vote of the evangelists was key to the victory of the ultra-rightheist Jair Bolsonaro. But the conservative roots within this religious community seem to have been moderate in some sectors. What role will they play in the October 4 presidential?
