Lula da Silva was elected president of Brazil for the fourth time - when she surprisingly defeated the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, Flavio, in the second round. According to the final data of the election commission, the 80-year-old president received 51.79% of the votes, his opponent - 48.21%. The victory was unexpected as Lola lost to Bolsonaro in the first round on October 4. Since the restoration of democracy in Brazil in 1989, no candidate has been able to win the second round after losing the first, writes Bloomberg. The mobilization of Lula's supporters in the poor northeastern regions of the country played a decisive role. According to Bloomberg, his victory was due to the wave of successes of right-wing politicians in Latin America and was a serious defeat for the Trump-related political movement of the Bolsonaro family. Flavio Bolsonaro refused to admit defeat and demanded the annulment of the election results. Let's remember that Lula is an active supporter of ending the war in Ukraine through negotiations.
