Leaders in the Americans congratulate Lula after presidential win
Regional leaders across the Americas congratulated Brazilian President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on social media after he defeated opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro to win an unprecedented fourth term. Lula is a revered figure to Latin America’s left, having governed the country between 2003-2010 when leftists were at the helm in countries across the region. Since returning to power in 2023, he has been a vocal critic of Trump.
Cuban President President Miguel Díaz-Canel said Lula's victory “ensures the continuity of the path of peace, sovereignty and social justice embarked upon by the Brazilian people,” while U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders wrote that “Lula has stood up for Brazilian workers & democracy — and will continue to do so in the next four years.”
