Brazil fights racism with new campaign rules for Black politicians

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 26 - Black political candidates in Brazil must get a fair share of air time and public funding, the top electoral court has ruled in a decision set to change the face of elections.

"There are times in life when everyone needs to choose which side of history they want to be on. Today, we affirm that we are on the side of those who fight racism," Luis Roberto Barroso, president of Brazil's Superior Electoral Court, said in a statement following Tuesday night's ruling.

The new rules will take effect at the 2022 national elections and aim to ensure the nation's powerful political elite looks more like the population at large.
