BRAZIL:"Local elections 2nd round: trends confirmed":

Local elections second round have just confirmed what we have been glimpsing in the first:
● The sharp decline of the workers party (PT). Consequently the conservative forces are gradually gaining ground. This isn't only a consequence of the "lava jato" operation.
● PMDB (Brazilian democratic movement) increase; nevertheless it lost Rio de Janeiro and the old political establishment has seen better days.
● PSDB (Brazilian social democracy party) also improved its results. This 2nd round acknowledges Geraldo Alckmin as the strongest party candidate for the next presidential elections.
● The multitude of  parties in these elections is showing how society is fragmented.
