Alors que les Brésiliens s'apprêtent à retourner aux urnes pour le second tour de la présidentielle ce dimanche, nos journalistes nous emmènent au coeur des favelas, où les habitants vivent dans des conditions insalubres.

Flavio Bolsonaro is not the only member of his family campaigning in his father’s shadow. The former president's eldest son, who is now polling neck and neck with incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, can count on two of his brothers, who are standing in the senatorial and legislative elections. In Santa Catarina, one of Brazil’s most pro-Bolsonaro southern states, their surname alone is enough to secure victory.
