President Gabriel Boric celebrated on Sunday the triumph of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the second round in Brazil against the far-right Jair Bolsonaro with a concise and brief message published on his Twitter account: “Lula. Joy,” he wrote.
The President also received Lula’s support when the head of La Moneda won the runoff against the also far-right José Antonio Kast last December: “I am happy for another victory of a democratic and progressive candidate in our Latin America, for the construction of a better future for all,” said the current president-elect of Brazil.
The candidate of the Workers’ Party (PT) won 50.8% of the vote against 49.1% for the current far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, in Brazil’s presidential election.
“This is not a victory of mine, nor of the PT, nor of the parties that gave me support, but of the immense democratic movement that was formed above the political parties and personal interests so that democracy wins,” Lula said after winning the election.
The PT candidate will become the new president on January 1, 2023 when he takes office.
