Brazil election results were announced. The left-wing former Brazilian president Lula won the election that day and became the new Brazilian president, and will officially take office in January next year. The far-right Brazilian current President Bosorona failed to achieve re-election. In response, the US " New York Times " pointed out that Lula's victory also pushed Brazil to the left. It is worth mentioning that since 2018, six of the seven largest countries in Latin America have elected left-wing leaders.
Lula's victory means that Brazil's political situation has shifted from the far right to the left. Bosorona, known as "Brazil Trump ", stepped down, which can be said that the United States "lost another city" in Latin America. However, knowing that the result of the Brazilian election was a glass of bitter wine, US President Biden had to swallow it. According to Observer Network , Biden congratulated Lula after winning. "I congratulate Lula on winning the free, fair and credible election," the statement said.
From a political perspective, it is not a good thing for the United States to take office. Because of the existence of left-wing politics in the backyard of the United States, it is an opposition to the so-called "political values" of Washington . Therefore, the defeat of the far-right Bosolona is a major failure for the United States in a sense. At least, on a political level, Brazil is no longer a "like-minded" friend of the United States.
It is worth mentioning that Brazil's current President Bosorona publicly questioned the fairness of the election after losing the election. However, his baseless accusation was drowned by the voices of great powers such as China, the United States and France congratulated Lula on his election. This means that if Bosorona wants to use external forces to interfere in the election results and save himself from losing, it is basically impossible.
The United States did not publicly support Bosorona's doubts about the election results, but instead congratulated Lula on his victory as soon as possible. This is not because the United States hopes that this Latin American power will make the left-wing party the leader, but because the United States has the will but lacks the ability to interfere in the internal affairs of Latin American countries. In 2019, the United States' interference in the internal affairs of Venezuela ended in failure, which is enough to say everything.
Therefore, since the United States does not have the ability to change the political landscape of Latin America, it is also an inevitable result to accept the reality that more and more regional countries and left-wing parties are in power. After all, when the left-wing political forces in Latin America form a mainstream, if the United States continues to oppose it, it will only be isolated by regional countries.
The results of the Brazilian election were announced, which means that the number of countries in Latin America is further increased by left-wing parties. This is a failure for the United States' influence status in the region. After all, although these left-wing parties, including Brazil, do not openly anti-US, they generally adhere to a pragmatic diplomatic line and refuse to take sides among major powers. This is a shame for the United States, which has implemented the hegemonic policy of "those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish" in the region.
Lula's victory is the most embarrassing thing for the United States, not how much impact the left-wing parties have on US-Spanish relations, but how Lula's pragmatic diplomatic line will make it more difficult for the United States to engage in anti-China activities in the region. According to Observer.com, compared with Bosorona, who tends to "anti-globalization", Lula has always been committed to promoting multilateralism and cooperation. In this regard, analysts generally believe that Lula's return will greatly improve China-Pakistan relations, which once experienced ups and downs.
China's influence in Latin America is an unstoppable thing. Before the Brazilian election was announced, the United States had at least the "line of defense" of Brazil under Bosorona, which would give it some face to save it. Now, with Lula's victory in the election, China-Pakistan cooperation relations have begun to set sail again. In a sense, this "line of defense" in Latin America was also "defeated" by Brazilian public opinion.
The change in the political trend in Latin America has made the United States' attempt to use Latin America to establish an anti-China-Russia alliance basically impossible.On the contrary, the continuous changes in the political landscape of Latin America have led to the continuous spread of resistance to the United States in the region. Biden's American Leaders' Summit in Los Angeles was boycotted by many regional countries, including the Nicaragua in the region, the denial of the entry of the US ambassador to the country, etc. The occurrence of these incidents further demonstrate that the United States' hegemony in the region is collapsing.
To sum up, the Brazilian left-wing party led by Lula is a failure for the United States at least on a political level. Lula's victory cleared political obstacles for the normalization of China-Pakistan relations, while also further weakened the United States' influence in the region.
