Brazil is currently experiencing a generational clash as the country prepares to elect a new president. The election pits eighty-year-old Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a veteran politician often described as a champion of the working class, against Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of a convicted former president. This contest raises questions about the effectiveness of social programs for Brazil’s poorest citizens and the potential future of the Amazon rainforest—and the global climate—should a far-right candidate prevail. Specialist Kateřina Březinová analyzes the tight race and explores historical connections between the Czech Republic and Latin America, referencing the legacy of Baťa companies and philosopher Vilém Flusser. The discussion, featured in the podcast *Za Horizont*, also considers how algorithms influence the electoral process in Brazil. Journalist Hana Scharffová moderates the conversation.
