It is reported that according to the latest news, in two rounds of general elections held in Brazil , former President Lula defeated the current President Bolsonaro and won, which will have a significant impact on Brazil and South America. Previously, in the first round of voting for the Brazilian presidential election held on October 2, Lula and Bolsonaro won no more than 50%, so they held the second round of competition; in the end, Lula surpassed Bolsonaro with a vote of 50.9% to 49.1%. He will serve as the next president of Brazil starting from January next year.
This general election is also called "chaotic election" by the public because there is a strong smell of gunpowder between the two candidates. Bolsonaro controls the highest military command and has many military confidants under his command. When he fell behind in the first poll, he began to incite the election to be "unfair" and attacks Lula many times, saying that he "has only two outcomes, victory or imprisonment." Lula is a worker. She served as Brazilian president twice but was accused of " money laundering " after losing the election and served two years in prison. This time after his victory, he announced that the new government will be committed to finding a "way" to rebuild peace among Brazilian people, bridge differences and fight poverty and hunger.
As for the specific measures, Lula did not announce it, but a conversation he spoke in an interview late this month had basically pointed out: In the first half of his year in power, Lula said she would be committed to rebuilding good relations between Brazil and China. And Brazil will do its best to improve its trade relations with Europe, despite their differences. It is reported that European countries are dissatisfied with the attitude of the Brazilian government to maintain high trade with Russia after the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. They once put pressure on them but Bolsonaro did not surrender, so the trade relations between Europe and Brazil were also affected. This time Lula seems to change its trade attitude towards Russia, including Europe.
During his election campaign last year, Lula accepted an interview with Chinese media and said that in his first year as president, trade between China and Pakistan was only $6 billion; by the time he stepped down, trade between the two countries had reached $76 billion, and China was "very important" to Brazil. This is interpreted as Lula's confidence in rebuilding and improving trade relations with China, and sources said he is better at taking a route of opening up to the outside world and being "balanced" and pragmatic with each country, not favoring a certain country. In addition, Lula also complained at the time that judging from the various policies implemented by Brazil now, the Bolsonaro government did not treat China as a partner.
Also worth mentioning is that based on these statements, the outside world is generally optimistic that Lula's coming to power can improve relations with China and Europe and gain more voice within the BRICS countries. But Bolsonaro's power is still very large at present. Foreign media such as " New York Times " are worried that Bolsonaro may refuse to accept the defeat on reasons such as "election fraud". He has also repeatedly stated that Lula and his voters are suspected of false votes and the electronic voting system is "cheated", but no evidence has been released. There are comments on this: "Bolsonaro is becoming more and more similar to Trump's , and he seems to be starting to play tricks; but what is more dangerous than Trump is that the leader holds military power and his supporters are more radical. It is also unknown whether there will be turmoil in Brazil in the future. The 'Congressional Incident' may be staged again."
