Lula logra una remontada histórica en Brasil y da la victoria a la izquierda frente al avance ultra de los Bolsonaro

Lula emerges in a historic comeback in Brazil, securing victory for the left-wing against the ultra-right surge led by Bolsonaro. At 80 years old, former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a prominent political figure in Latin America, triumphed over 45-year-old senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the political heir of the far-right clan.

Lula secured 51.7% of the votes compared to Bolsonaro's 48.2%, thereby garnering four million more votes. This marks the first time a president has won after losing the first round in a Brazilian election. Only Emperor Pedro II and Getúlio Vargas have held onto power for longer periods. The Workers' Party (PT) leader, who turns 81 on Tuesday, will govern a deeply divided Brazil, cementing his role as a bastion of progressivism amidst Donald Trump's rise.
