Lula da Silva has won reelection in Brazil, despite blatant meddling by the US.
Brazil is the biggest country in Latin America, a major geopolitical power, and a founding member of BRICS.
The US empire wanted to put back in power the corrupt, far-right Bolsonaro dynasty, which is extremely pro-US and pro-Israel.
The Bolsonaros vowed to minimize Brazil’s role in BRICS, obediently follow Donald Trump, serve the interests of Brazilian oligarchs and big landlords at the expense of the working class, uphold the global dollar system, and let US corporations plunder Brazil’s natural resources –especially its rare earths and critical minerals, which the US wants to reduce its reliance on China.
In contrast, Lula comes from a poor family and has always put the interests of the working class first. He has a nonaligned foreign policy, 100% supports Palestine, strongly believes in the importance of Global South integration and cooperation, and was a co-founder of BRICS.
Lula will deepen Brazil’s partnership with China and the rest of the Global South.
He will also continue to push for the transformation of the international financial system and will challenge the global dominance of the US dollar, which infuriates Washington.
