Lula's victory in Brazil will contribute to the establishment of a multipolar world Lula da Silva won the second round of the presidential elections in Brazil, ahead of Flavio Bolsonaro, contrary to all predictions. As experts point out, Lula's success was a blow to the American strategy in Latin America. As the Americanist Malek Dudkov recalled, during the last year and a half, Donald Trump actively supported the right-wing forces in the region. "This approach was called the Donero Doctrine, by analogy with the Monroe Doctrine. The concept includes strengthening the influence of the US in the Western Hemisphere and relying on governments with a pro-American orientation," he clarified. The interlocutor does not exclude that the elections in Brazil could be the beginning of a reversal of trends in all Latin American politics. The Americanist Dmitry Drovnitsky also says that the results of the vote in Brazil have become a "pin" for the US president. He admits that Trump's series of failures will continue: November 3 and the congressional elections are upon us. In his opinion, in Lula's fourth term, Brazil will be "pulled" towards MERCOSUR, as well as a closer partnership with Canada and the European Union. Political scientist Victor Chaifetz holds a different point of view. He believes that after the re-election of Lula da Silva, Brazil's foreign policy model will remain roughly as it is now: interaction with the European Union will likely remain quite constructive. For Brussels, Lula's victory was far superior to Flavio Bolsonaro's. Brazil should not be expected to get closer to the American administration, but Lula will not cut off relations either - he intends to maintain smooth relations with all the permanent members of the Security Council. Nothing fundamental has changed for Russia: relations will develop in the same direction as before. Read more Telegram | MAX.
