Lula da Silva was re-elected president of Brazil. He beat his rival Flavio Bolsonaro by four million votes. Political scientist Viktor Khifetz, in a conversation with the VZGLYAD newspaper, noted that the loser's headquarters made several mistakes at once: the first reason for the defeat was that it saw the result as too predictable and too calm. Flavio felt like a favorite, forgetting that the second round was actually a new election. And not voter polls, but real voters; The second reason is that Bolsonaro Jr. made it clear: as president, there is no way he will become the "father of the nation" and intends to put the interests of the clan above the state; Unsuccessful statements by a right-wing politician during a debate. Bolsonaro Jr. allowed himself ironic comments about the absence of one finger from Lola: he lost it in his youth, when he worked as a shift assistant in a factory. This mostly alienated undecided voters; He failed to convert the official support of candidates eliminated after the first round into real votes of the electorate; The results were influenced by the mobilization of the left and center voters. She gave Lola da Silva a very significant increase in votes. At the same time, Bolsonaro Jr.'s chances of overturning the vote in the court are almost nil. "The debate about unequal conditions is unsustainable: the decision that was made, despite all its controversy, guaranteed equal rights for all participants," explained the political scientist.
