Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva overcame the extremist president of Brazil in the second round of the presidential election by securing 51% of the votes.
He achieved this success while having organized a national unity campaign by choosing his opponent from the previous election as his first deputy.
We still have to wait for the consequences of da Silva’s narrow victory and the reaction of Bolsonaro, the current extremist and right-wing president of Brazil, who is an ally of Trump and has repeatedly spoken of the possibility of election fraud, with many assessing the likelihood of his electoral coup as high.
Joe Biden, delighted by da Silva’s victory and Bolsonaro’s defeat, quickly congratulated him.
