Transfer from @TriumphSquids The incumbent president was re-elected for a second term The left's bet worked perfectly and allowed them to turn the tide of the campaign. For Brazilian political veteran Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, this will be his fourth presidential term in his career. The intrigues continued until the last moment. In the first round, Flavio, contrary to the polls, beat Lola by a few percentage points. To date in the history of modern Brazil, no candidate has ever won the second round after losing to an opponent in the 1st. Voting day was just as nerve wracking as the run-up to the elections. The counting of votes had to be temporarily halted after the Supreme Court extended polling hours by two hours due to public transport failures, which became Flavio Bolsonaro's main argument in favor of canceling the results. The Calamari campaign team did an excellent job. In addition to the overwhelming debates and scandals surrounding Flavio, the left's success has been boosted by skilled voter recruitment, including the elderly and moderate voters. Now the presidential team will continue to push its agenda. So what did Lola promise? On the economic level, Lola focused on direct support for the population and the fight against the cost of living. He promised to continue to peg the minimum wage above inflation rates, expand targeted social payments, and implement a large-scale debt forgiveness program for small businesses and indebted households. The environmental and climate protection agenda has become a separate central priority. The incumbent president insisted on strengthening the state's control over ecology, cracking down strongly on illegal logging in the Amazon, and attracting international "green" investments, contradicting the policies of the Bolsonaro family. In the security field, the pre-election campaign proposed shifting the focus from force attacks to financial intelligence.
