️🇧🇷 The president-elect of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, delivered his first public words thanking the citizens for their participation:.

"Today, my message to the press is one of gratitude. We had the lowest number of abstainers in the history of this country. We had the fewest invalid votes. And I must express my gratitude to the people who coordinated our campaign, to the parties who joined us, but I want to especially thank the Brazilian people for the generosity they have shown me for so long.

And in these second elections, I want to thank the youth of Brazil for their generosity: they took to the streets to defend democracy. I want to thank the seniors; Today I saw many scenes of people carrying their grandchildren in their arms to go vote - people who could not walk on their own, people with cancer and other diseases. And people came out to vote because we managed to convince them that their vote is essential for maintaining democracy in the country. I want to thank the whole company."
