Brazilian's Poll

It is happening this Sunday the Brazilian's poll to choose the president. The next president is already unknown, but surveys indicate that the two women Dilma Rousseff (actual president) and Marina Silva have the preference of the Brazilian population. In the article “Brazil's next President looks sure to be a woman” by Ben Brumfield and Shasta Darlington, CNN is possible to see that this election is going to be very disputed. “But neither Silva nor Rousseff are projected to garner a majority, setting the stage for a runoff between the top two candidates” said Brumfield.

Both candidates have an interesting participation in the political history of Brazil. Dilma Rousseff fought against the military dictatorship, she fought for democracy in Brazil, and she went to the prison for a period of time. Years later Rousseff won the presidential election and became the first president woman in Brazil. Before of Rousseff being president, she works as a chief of staff in the president Lula government, and guided important projects that have impacted positively the Brazilian's life. Marina Silva also has an interesting story life, she grew up in a poor family in the Amazonas state. Silva tried hunger and some disease like malaria and hepatitis in her youth. Silva begun her politics career helping Chico Mendes in the fight against illegal logging, years late she became a senator, and after an environmental minister in Lula's government.

I do not know who will be the next president of Brazil, but I hope that the winner can be able to bring better solutions to Brazilian's life, problems like corruption need to be solved.
