2014年总统选举是巴西再民主化以来竞争最激烈的一次。经济滞胀及社会抗议已经给寻求连任的罗塞夫带来障碍,而“坠机事件”及“巴西石油公司腐败丑闻”的曝光更增加了选举进程的曲折性。最终,凭借中下阶层选民的坚定支持,罗塞夫险胜对手而获得连任,但如何摆脱经济困局是其面临的重要挑战,而政治改革、反腐及结构改革也是艰巨的长期任务。对外关系上,巴西继续坚持多元化战略,除巩固同欧盟的关系、修复与美国的关系外,还加强了与亚太特别是中国的经贸关系,旨在构建更加平衡和多元的世界格局。
<<The 2014 presidential election in Brazil is the most competitive one since the re-democratization of Brazil. Economic stagnation and social protest had already brought barriers to Rousseff who sought a second four-year presidential term. The plane crash and exposure of corruption scandal of Petrobras had complicated the election process. Finally,with the firm support from the lower- and middle-class voters Rousseff narrowly won the 2014 election,but how to get out of the economic dilemma is the important challenge facing Rousseff and the reforms in fields such as politics,economic structure and anti-corruption have been difficult and long-term tasks. As regards foreign relations,Brazil continues to adhere to diversification strategy and strengthens economic ties with Asia-Pacific,especially with China besides consolidating relations with the EU and seeking a rapprochement with the US government,committed to building a more balanced and diversified world.
