The Brazil Program at the Inter-American Dialogue

The Brazil Program is the only country-specific public policy institution in Washington dedicated to Brazil.

[The Inter-American Dialogue @The_Dialogue]

#Lula’s historic fourth-term win was less an endorsement of the PT platform than a rejection of Bolsonarismo. Antibolsonarismo proved a stronger unifying force than antipetismo.

Lula made history on October 25, overturning a first-round deficit to defeat Flávio Bolsonaro with 51.79% of the vote.

Higher turnout, a broader coalition, and rejection of Bolsonarismo drove his comeback.

My quick take on Brazil’s first-round vote: Flávio Bolsonaro is now the clear favorite for the runoff, while the right’s gains in Congress point to a broader political shift. 1/n
