Lula has won the presidential election narrowly, Sunday October 30, with 50.9% voices, facing I have r Bolsonaro. Live from the France 2 set, journalist Étienne Lenhardt delivers his analysis of this election.
Lula was elected president of brazil but won it by a short head against I have r Bolsonaro. How can this narrow victory be explained? “We must always be wary of the European vision we have of an election that is far from us“, declares the journalist Étienne Lenhardtlive from the France 2 set, Tuesday November 1st. “There are millions of Brazilians who loved Jair Bolsonaro’s four years in power.”he continues, which explains this very tight result.
Brazil is therefore under tension. “The campaign was incredibly violent and then Bolsonaro still did not say (…) that he recognized this defeat“, explains Etienne Lenhardt. However, the leaders of state around the world have already congratulated Lula for his victory. “We can fear a Donald Trump scenario that would contest the election in Brazil“, says the journalist. For Lulathis election is in any case “a resurrection“.
