Good will prevail!” the outsider bellowed as his followers encircled the stage that had been erected to welcome him to this sweltering satellite town in north-east Brazil The speech-maker was Jair Bolsonaro far-right populist championed in almost celestial terms by his supporters He’s my warrior,” said Diego Rodrigues da Silva an evangelical Christian who had ridden to the event on a bicycle painted with the word “Jesus” She called Bolsonaro “the only real president I’ve ever seen” Minutes later, the throng erupted in euphoric cheers as their trailblazer arrived on a white horse with his country’s yellow and green flag draped over its neck. “Brazil above everything,” Bolsonaro shouted. “God above all,” they screamed back – the slogan of Bolsonaro’s illiberal administration since his shock 2018 election win That administration will seek to extend its stay in power in October when 150 million Brazilians choose the next leader of Latin America’s biggest democracy Read moreAt the start of this year some Bolsonaro opponents hoped his chances of a second term had evaporated with polls showing a yawning gap between the former army captain and his leftist rival the ex-president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva But in recent weeks Bolsonaro’s polling has improved dashing progressive predictions that he was out for the count “I don’t think the election is won – far from it,” said Jairo Nicolau, the author of a book exploring Bolsonaro’s astonishingly resilient support base Nicolau still considered Lula the clear favourite thanks to his popularity among female voters But the election is still six months away and the spell Bolsonaro has cast over many conservatives – a “cultural phenomenon” Nicolau likens to Trumpism – meant he was no ordinary foe millions of Bolsonaro voters would stand by their man He has established a rapport with part of Brazil that’s really rare for a politician It’s almost as if he’s a footballing idol … They see Bolsonaro as a hero,” Nicolau said Bolsonaro supporters on their way to the rally in Parnamirim Photograph: Francisco Proner/Francisco Proner/ Agence VU’Such veneration is obvious in Parnamirim a conservative city that grew around an airbase built to support allied efforts in the second world war and is home to many military officials who cruised to the airport to greet Bolsonaro on his three-wheeled motorcycle is a typical representative of Bolsonaro’s base But he also enjoys support on Parnamirim’s dilapidated outskirts partly thanks to billions of pounds in welfare payments being dished out ahead of the vote “He has a real connection to the poor,” said Ana Paula da Silva an evangelical 29-year-old who is pregnant with her fourth child and survives on an £80 monthly government allowance called Auxílio Brasil Logic suggested her husband would support Lula Ronaldo Cavalcante was born into rural poverty in the same town was also a Bolsonaro fan and said he would consider giving their unborn child the president’s second name The potentially tight nature of what looks set to be a two-horse race between Bolsonaro and Lula has left many bracing for a fraught and possibly violent period. Adding to those fears are the tens of thousands of firearms that have gone into circulation under a pro-gun president who has dramatically loosened gun laws Critics accuse Bolsonaro of inviting disorder with his confrontational language “An armed population will never be enslaved,” he told supporters in Parnamirim several of whom wore T-shirts stamped with images of revolvers or assault rifles Evangelist Lindomar Alves de Sousa at a service before the start of Bolsonaro’s election campaign in the north-east region of Brazil Photograph: Francisco Proner/Francisco Proner/ Agence VU’Elisangela Silva da Costa Palombo a leftwing activist and teacher who lives nearby voiced outrage at the divisive “good and evil” rhetoric being used by Bolsonaro “No matter how many times he says he represents good he’s actually evil disguised as good – and people are waking up to this,” she said a softly spoken evangelist who was part of Bolsonaro’s reception committee recognised the president’s “brutish style” but said it was necessary as he was striving to save Brazil from what he called communist totalitarianism “He’s not a polished guy – but he’s doing what we want done,” the 58-year-old preacher said after evening worship in his church The next morning Sousa joined Bolsonaro on stage in Parnamirim wearing a yellow jersey symbolising his loyalty “God lifted up this man and no one touches those lifted up by God – no one!” the evangelist proclaimed urging supporters to raise their arms in prayer we thank you for the life of our president It was for this moment in history that you raised him up – and you As Bolsonaristas streamed out of the event they passed the right-wing activist Walter Sabino who was hawking copies of a self-published book denouncing a supposed leftwing media conspiracy against the president “Why did I write this?” Sabino asks in the introduction to ‘Bolsonaro v The Press: Distortions “Simple: because I believe in my country and I do not want it to be seized by the left again … I believe I’m one of millions of cogs God is using to rescue this nation.” claimed Bolsonaro was being unfairly demonised by leftist infiltrators in the media: “They paint him as a monster … but increasingly people realise he’s nothing of the sort: that he’s a simple Bolsonaro devotees spotted their captain departing via light railway and Sabino’s voice was overwhelmed by their exhilarated chants “Do you really think a person like this will come second?” the author wondered as his compatriots howled in delight Get our news on your inbox!

"In addition to expanding leisure and sports options for students, the new space reaffirms the institute's commitment to the integral formation of young people, through an environment that encourages physical well-being, social interaction and sports practice, in line with the ideals of Don Bosco," said Fr Ilmário Pinheiro, the Rector.
