Summary
Hallelujah: far right demagogue Jair Bolsonaro has been defeated in Brazil's presidential election by progressive standardbearer and former president Lula da Silva. It was a victory secured despite attempts at voter suppression by an authoritarian regime. But nonetheless - despite Bolsonaro's catastrophic record - the vote was so close. Why? How was victory achieved? What happens next? And how frightened should we be about Bolsonarismo coming back?
I'm joined live from Brazil by David Adler - the general coordinator of the Progressive International - and Aline Piva - the Latin America coordinator.
