巴西总统罗塞夫当选连任

2014-10-28来源:VOA

Brazil's president promised to reconcile the country, reboot the economy, fight corruption, and listen to voters’ demand for change in a victory speech late Sunday in the capital, Brasilia.

Dilma Rousseff, 66, was elected by a narrow margin, winning 51.6 percent of the vote to 48.4 percent for her rival, business favorite Aecio Neves, in a run-off election.  This was the fourth straight win for her Workers' Party (PT).

A Marxist guerrilla in her youth, Ms. Rousseff won enough middle-class votes to govern an already divided country between the poor north and the rich south.

She is facing a number of challenges - reuniting a polarized Brazil, winning back the confidence of the markets and investors, revitalizing the stagnant economy and combat corruption.
