Former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated the incumbent Jaír Bolsonaro in Sunday’s runoff elections in Brazil. Lula’s victory returns the leftist leader to power, as the country’s electorate rejected four years of Bolsonaro’s right-wing rule — a result that many of Brazil’s leaders, including those on the right, have acknowledged, except Bolsonaro himself.
Just two years after the defeat of right wing government in USA, the ultra right wing leader in Brazil loses the election to progressive candidate Lula, which signals repudiation of radical right wing policies in the Americas, prior to the loses in USA and Brazil, progressive have gained power in Chile, Argentina, and Colombia among others.
