His inauguration is scheduled to take place on Jan. 1.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Traumann, an independent political analyst, compared the results to U.S. President Joe Biden\u2019s 2020 victory, saying da Silva is inheriting an extremely divided nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe huge challenge that Lula has will be to pacify the country,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople are not only polarized on political matters, but also have different values, identity and opinions. What\u2019s more, they don\u2019t care what the other side\u2019s values, identities and opinions are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro had been leading throughout the first half of the count and, as soon as da Silva overtook him, cars in the streets of downtown Sao Paulo began honking their horns. People in the streets of Rio de Janeiro\u2019s Ipanema neighborhood could be heard shouting, \u201cIt turned!\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Da Silva\u2019s headquarters in downtown Sao Paulo hotel only erupted once the final result was announced, underscoring the tension that was a hallmark of this race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFour years waiting for this,\u201d said Gabriela Souto, one of the few supporters allowed in due to heavy security.<\/p>\n<p>Outside Bolsonaro\u2019s home in Rio de Janeiro, ground-zero for his support base, a woman atop a truck delivered a prayer over a speaker, then sang excitedly, trying to generate some energy. But supporters decked out in the green and yellow of the flag barely responded. Many perked up when the national anthem played, singing along loudly with hands over their hearts.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Most opinion polls before the election gave a lead to da Silva, universally known as Lula, though political analysts agreed the race grew increasingly tight in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>For months, it <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared that da Silva was headed for easy victory as he kindled nostalgia for his presidency, when Brazil\u2019s economy was booming and welfare helped tens of millions join the middle class.<\/p>\n<p>But while da Silva topped the Oct. 2 first-round elections with 48% of the vote, Bolsonaro was a strong second at 43%, showing opinion polls significantly underestimated his popularity. Many Brazilians support Bolsonaro\u2019s defense of conservative <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> values and he shored up support in an election year with vast government spending.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Bolsonaro\u2019s administration has been marked by incendiary speech, his testing of democratic institutions, his widely criticized handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worst deforestation in the Amazon rainforest in 15 years. But he has built a devoted base by defending conservative values and presenting himself as protection from leftist policies that he says infringe on personal liberties and produce economic turmoil.<\/p>\n<p>Da Silva is credited with building an extensive social welfare program during his 2003-2010 tenure that helped lift tens of millions into the middle class as well as presiding over an economic boom. The man universally known as Lula left office with an approval rating above 80%; then U.S. President Barack Obama called him \u201cthe most popular politician on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But he is also remembered for his administration\u2019s involvement in vast corruption revealed by sprawling investigations. Da Silva\u2019s arrest in 2018 kept him out of that year\u2019s race against Bolsonaro, a fringe lawmaker at the time who was an outspoken fan of former U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Da Silva was jailed for for 580 days for corruption and money laundering. His convictions were later annulled by Brazil\u2019s top court, which ruled the presiding judge had been biased and colluded with prosecutors. That enabled da Silva to run for the nation\u2019s highest office for the sixth time.<\/p>\n<p>For months, it appeared that he was headed for easy victory as he kindled nostalgia for his presidency, when the economy was booming and welfare helped tens of millions join the middle class. But results from an Oct. 2 first-round vote \u2014 da Silva got 48% and Bolsonaro 43% \u2014 showed opinion polls had significantly underestimated Bolsonaro\u2019s resilience and popularity. He shored up support, in part, with vast government spending.<\/p>\n<p>Da Silva has pledged to boost spending on the poor, reestablish relationships with foreign governments and take bold action to eliminate illegal clear-cutting in the Amazon rainforest.<\/p>\n<p>He hasn\u2019t provided specific plans on how he will achieve those goals, and faces many challenges. The president-elect will be confronted by strong opposition from conservative lawmakers likely to take their cues from Bolsonaro.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Melo, a political <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo, compared the likely political climate to that experienced by former President Dilma Rousseff, da Silva\u2019s hand-picked successor after his second term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLula\u2019s victory means Brazil is trying to overcome years of turbulence since the reelection of President Dilma Rousseff in 2014. That election never ended; the opposition asked for a recount, she governed under pressure and was impeached two years later,\u201d said Melo. \u201cThe divide became huge and then made Bolsonaro.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Unemployment this year has fallen to its lowest level since 2015 and, although overall inflation has slowed during the campaign, food prices are increasing at a double-digit rate. Bolsonaro\u2019s welfare payments helped many Brazilians get by, but da Silva has been presenting himself as the candidate more willing to sustain aid going forward and raise the minimum wage.<\/p>\n<p>Da Silva has also pledged to put a halt to illegal deforestation in the Amazon, and once again has prominent environmentalalist Marina Silva by his side, years after a public falling out when she was his environment minister. The president-elect has already pledged to install a ministry for Brazil\u2019s orginal peoples, which will be run by an Indigenous person.<\/p>\n<p>In April, he tapped center-right Geraldo Alckmin, a former rival, to be his running mate. It was another key part of an effort to create a broad, pro-democracy front to not just unseat Bolsonaro, but to make it easier to govern. Da Silva mended also has drawn support from Sen. Simone Tebet, a moderate who finished in third place in the election\u2019s first round.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Lula manages to talk to voters who didn\u2019t vote for him, which Bolsonaro never tried, and seeks negotiated solutions to the economic, social and political crisis we have, and links with other nations that were lost, then he could reconnect Brazil to a time in which people could disagree and still get some things done,\u201d Melo said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>The highly polarized election in Brazil, the biggest economy in Latin America, extended a wave of recent leftist victories in South America, including Chile, Colombia and Argentina.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
