Briefings

An expert from the Stone Center for Latin American Studies at Tulane University stated that Brazilian right-wing candidates have progressively moved to the right over the last two decades. Anthony Pereira, Executive Director of the Stone Center, noted that Lula's victory depends on mobilizing voters who did not vote in the first round, while Flavio Bolsonaro benefits from voters who migrated to him, making his second-round win more likely than Lula's.

Key points

• Anthony Pereira, Executive Director of the Stone Center for Latin American Studies at Tulane University, stated that Lula's path to victory lies in mobilizing voters who did not vote in the first round.
• Flavio Bolsonaro will probably benefit from voters who voted for other right-wing candidates and who will simply migrate to him, making his second-round win more likely than Lula's.

Context and limitations

The evidence is limited to a single interview with Anthony Pereira regarding the 2026 Brazilian presidential election runoff, covering only the specific claims about voter migration and Lula's mobilization strategy.
