Lula achieves a historic comeback in Brazil and gives victory to the left against the ultra advance of the Bolsonaros
The current president will be president for a fourth term after winning with four million more votes than the candidate from the far-right clan and consolidates himself as resistance against Trump
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 80, has won the Brazilian presidency, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro with 51.7% of the vote. Lula, leader of the Partido de los Trabajadores (PT), secured a fourth term as president, having previously lost the first round of voting. He garnered four million more votes than Bolsonaro, and will be the first president to serve after losing the first round.
Lula will begin his term as president of a deeply divided Brazil, and at 81 years old, he will be governing with a legacy as a resistance to progressivism, particularly against Donald Trump.
