Editor's note: Far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro was elected the president of Brazil on Sunday. His win ends the almost two-decade leftist rule in Brazil. Two experts share their views with China Daily's Pan Yixuan on the development and Brazil's future. Excerpts follow:
Bolsonaro a part of 'mainstream'
Disappointed by the previous leftist governments of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Vana Rousseff for their alleged involvement in corruption and worried about the declining economy, Brazilian voters chose Jair Bolsonaro, a far-right leader and former army captain, as their president. Bolsonaro secured 10 percent more votes than Fernando Haddad, the leftist Workers' Party candidate.
