Lula’s Challenging Return
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva won a fourth term, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro by 3.6 percentage points. He regained support in small cities and working-class suburbs, and secured ten million additional votes in the runoff. His victory was helped by economic measures including assistance for low-income families, a debt-relief program, and tax breaks for small businesses. But his return faces challenges, chief among them the persistently high cost of living and the difficulty of turning economic improvement into tangible gains, while the right retains considerable influence in Congress and among state governors.
