Lula beats Bolsonaro in Brazil runoff: What does it mean for Donald Trump?
Lula defeated on Sunday (October 25) Flavio Bolsonaro in Brazil’s presidential election. But rather than conceding, Bolsonaro called for the result to be annulled. As the US midterms approach, the result raises questions about Trump’s influence and how his political allies respond when voters reject them. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor, Douglas Herbert, gives us his analysis.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won re-election as Brazil's president, securing 51.8 per cent of the vote. Following the victory, world leaders have offered congratulations to the left-wing leader, according to Punch.
The losing candidate, Flávio Bolsonaro, has not conceded the election. New Voice of Ukraine reports that the far-right Brazilian Senator stated his legal team would seek to annul the results of the presidential runoff. Haaretz reports that Benjamin Netanyahu's government endorsed Flávio Bolsonaro, and while Israeli politicians clashed over parallels to recent elections, there was agreement among them that Lula is anti-Israel.
