The victory of Lula the incumbent president was re-elected for a second term. The left's bet worked well and allowed them to turn the tide of the campaign. For veteran Brazilian politician Lula da Silva, this will be his fourth career presidential term. The intrigues continued until the last moment. In the first round, Flavio, despite 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 if he lost to his opponent in the first. Voting day turned out to be just as nervous as the run-up to the election. Counting had to be temporarily suspended because the Supreme Court extended polling hours by two hours due to public transport disruptions, which became Flavio Bolsonaro's main argument in favor of canceling the results. Lola's HQ did a great job. In addition to the devastating debates and scandals surrounding Flavio, the success story of the left has included a smart mobilization of the electorate, including older and moderate voters. Now the President's team will once again continue to promote his agenda. What did Lola promise? On the economic side, Lola focused on direct support for the population and the fight against the cost of living. He promised to continue setting the minimum wage above the rate of inflation, expand targeted social benefits, and implement a large-scale debt cancellation program for small businesses and debt-ridden households. Environmental protection and the climate agenda have become a separate key area. The current president has insisted on strengthening government control over the environment, severely cracking down on the illegal deforestation of the Amazon and attracting international "green" investment, contradicting the policies of the Bolsonaro family. On the security level, the election headquarters proposed to shift the focus from military attacks to financial intelligence.
