  "account": "Brazil is set to decide its future between two candidates, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro, in presidential and legislative elections that mark the third consecutive electoral duel between the democratic left and the extreme right. The contenders may be different, but the substance remains unchanged. Lula, aged 80, declares that the people are called \"to choose between democracy and barbarism\"; the senator Flávio Bolsonaro, 45, raises the battle as a confrontation \"between good and evil.\" The elections are a showdown between an aged statesman seeking a fourth term, and the political heir, investigated for corruption, of an ultra-right-wing movement. The aspirant to power, which both conservatives and those who despise Lula have rallied behind. The mood is one of apathy despite the favorites having been in a virtual tie in the polls for months, proposing antagonistic models of the country and, literally, leaving almost all undecided. It is highly unlikely, but not impossible, that the presidential election will be decided tonight.",
