Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won the elections in Brazil, and became president for the fourth time, -. Reuters. The agency claims that this is a "shocking result" that stands in front of public opinion polls, precedent and global sentiment against the government. Lula, 80, defeated Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who beat his opponent in the first round of the election and promised to acquit his father, who was sentenced to 27 years for plotting a coup. According to sociologists, a higher turnout than expected ensured Lula's victory. Lula began his victory speech by having his team convince people of the importance of voting to protect democracy in Brazil. He stated that his group had won victory over what he called foreign interference through digital platforms and emphasized that "Brazil is not someone's backyard." Bolsonaro also published a statement in which he stated that it is impossible to recognize the election results under such circumstances. "We will bring our legal team and ask for the annulment of these elections. There is a lot to be done before Brazil simply admits to this dirty trick being done now - during these elections. I will not give up my Brazil," he said.
