English to Portuguese: Brazil's Rousseff to face Neves in runoff vote
Source text - English Brazil's Rousseff to face Neves in runoff vote
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil's unpredictable election took another twist Sunday, with left-leaning President Dilma Rousseff being forced into a runoff race as expected, but against a center-right challenger who only surged in the final week of the campaign.
Rousseff will face Aecio Neves in the Oct. 26 runoff vote, required as no single candidate won an outright majority. With over 99 percent of the vote counted, the president had won 41.5 percent against Neves' 33.6 percent.
As surprising as Neves' rise was the fall from grace of another candidate, former environment minister Marina Silva, who took just 21 percent of the vote. In late August, she held a double-digit lead over Rousseff in polls after being thrust into the race when her Socialist Party's first candidate died in a plane crash.
But over the past three weeks, the powerful political machine of Rousseff's Workers' Party eviscerated Silva with what some analysts called the most negative and aggressive campaigning Brazil has seen since returning to democracy nearly 30 years ago. Silva fell hard in polls and could never regain her footing or get her message out.
Neves, however, had the backing of the well-organized Social Democracy Party, which held the presidency from 1994 until 2002, a period when Brazil tamed its hyperinflation and turned its economy around.
"Aecio's performance has been extraordinary and one of the reasons for this is the very strong party structure behind him — a party with a strong nationwide presence and which has been in the presidency," said Carlos Pereira, a political analyst with the Gertulio Vargas Foundation, Brazil's leading think tank. "It is now a new election where everything is wide open. Aecio, who until recently no one believed had a chance, has emerged as a very strong candidate."
Translation - Portuguese Rousseff enfrenta Neves em segundo turno
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — As imprevisíveis eleições no Brasil sofreram uma nova reviravolta no domingo, com a Presidente Dilma Rousseff, de esquerda, sendo forçada a disputar o segundo turno, como se esperava, mas contra um desafiante de centro-direita que surgiu apenas na última semana da campanha.
Rousseff enfrentará Aécio Neves no dia 26, data do segundo turno das eleições. Essa nova fase é necessária porque nenhum candidato venceu por maioria de votos. Com mais de 99% dos votos contados, a presidente obteve 41.5%, e Neves 33.6%.
Tão surpreendente quanto a ascensão de Neves foi a perda de apoio sofrida por outra candidata, a ex-ministra do Meio Ambiente Marina Silva, que obteve apenas 21% dos votos. No final de agosto, depois que Marina foi lançada na disputa devido ao falecimento do candidato do Partido Socialista (PSB) em um acidente de avião, as pesquisas de intenção de voto mostravam que ela tinha uma vantagem de dois dígitos sobre Rousseff.
Mas, ao longo das últimas três semanas, a poderosa máquina política do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) de Rousseff estraçalhou Silva com o que alguns analistas chamaram de a mais negativa e agressiva campanha que o Brasil já viu desde seu retorno à democracia quase 30 anos atrás. Silva caiu drasticamente nas pesquisas e não foi capaz de se levantar novamente ou de enviar sua mensagem.
Neves, entretanto, tinha o apoio do bem organizado Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (PSDB), que assumiu a presidência de 1994 a 2002, um período em que o Brasil conteve a hiperinflação e renovou sua economia.
“O desempenho de Aécio tem sido extraordinário, e uma das razões disso é a estrutura do partido por trás dele — um partido com forte presença em todo o país e que já esteve na presidência”, disse Carlos Pereira, analista político da Fundação Getúlio Vargas, principal organização de pesquisas do Brasil. “Agora é uma nova eleição em que tudo está bastante aberto. Aécio, que até recentemente ninguém acreditava que tinha chance, emergiu como um candidato muito forte.”
