Sheinbaum applauds Lula’s win in Brazil, supports INE president’s resignation: Monday’s mañanera recapped

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won Brazil's presidential election, securing a fourth non-consecutive term after defeating Flavio Bolsonaro in a runoff. According to the Jerusalem Post, Lula obtained 51.79% of the valid votes while Bolsonaro received 48.21%. While DW English reports that Bolsonaro has refused to concede, the Jerusalem Post notes that the senator said he did not accept the results.

During celebrations in São Paulo, Lula told supporters that dictatorship and fascism would never return to Brazil. France 24 identifies Bolsonaro as a right-wing senator, while the Jerusalem Post describes him as a center-right senator from the Liberal Party. The Jerusalem Post further notes that the election result may slow a regional shift toward closer ties with Israel, as Bolsonaro had pledged a close diplomatic partnership with the nation.

Regarding developments in Mexico, Sheinbaum described Lula's reelection as the triumph of a people's movement and a government that represents its people, according to Mexico News Daily. In the same report, Sheinbaum expressed support for the resignation of Guadalupe Taddei from her position as president of Mexico's National Electoral Institute (INE).
