Brazil’s presidential candidates have had their last chance to win over the voters. <br /><br />A final TV debate has taken place ahead of elections on Sunday, with polls showing incumbent Dilma Rousseff has extended her lead. <br /><br />She is hoping for a second term but facing stiff opposition from environmentalist Marina Silva.<br /><br />“We will develop our relations with the European Union, as well as our traditional relations with the US,” said Roussef. “This means Brazil defends multilateral relations and the most diverse agreements.”<br /><br />Silva said: “It’s clear to us that our society, which won achievements in the home the hard way, now wants a government that can extend those achievements outside as well.”<br /><br />Two latest opinion polls give Rousseff a lead of at least 15 percentage points. They indicate she would win re-election in a likely second round run-off later this month. <br /><br />As well as debate about the direction of the economy,allegations of business corruption have also dominated the campaign.
