JUST IN: 🇧🇷 Brazil's currency "Real" crashes over 10% against the US dollar after Lula da Silva defeats Flávio Bolsonaro in the presidential election.

[Martin De Luca @emd_worldwide]

Hey @AlexanderSoros I know you guys regularly trade on large currency swings. Any recent trades on the Brazilian real that we should be aware of?

A completely unexpected election result that nobody priced in would be extremely lucrative…

JUST IN: 🇧🇷 Over $200,000,000,000 wiped out from the Brazil stock market at open after Lula da Silva wins Brazil's presidential election, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro.

[Martin De Luca @emd_worldwide]

Indeed. It started today with the São Paulo stock market crashing and the Brazilian real tanking 12%.

Actually, yesterday Brazil showed the world that if you are losing an election and you need to turn it around you can call on your former lawyer turned judges to give you a lift, and you’ll still be congratulated by all who share the cause.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Yesterday, Brazil showed the world that the will of the people is stronger than the authoritarians who try to suppress it. Congratulations President @LulaOficial and congratulations Brazil.

Defied the math, not the odds. The odds are based on the rules being applied and no cheating.

Pra mim a fraude não aconteceu devido a eleitores que votaram depois das 17h. Eu acredito que eles usaram isso como cortina de fumaça para fazer a apuração entre eles e ver o resultado real, viram que tinham perdido e inverteram os donos do resultado: esses números da vitória eram de Flávio, então inverteram no código a constante, exemplo x=Flavio e y= Lula, daí colocaram x= Lula e y= Flávio.

Mas ainda fica a pergunta, porque precisavam dessas 2h e porque insistiram nisso? Eles sabiam que as 16:57 ou 17:01 (dizem que a decisão foi expedida esse horário) não daria tempo de organizar e avisar todos os locais, então a maioria estaria fechado mesmo, permitindo assim que o resultado não mudasse muito do que eles já tinham visto/apurado entre eles, garantindo que Flávio não mudaria de novo o jogo dentro dessas 2h.

Tudo foi premeditado. Artistas já estavam com vídeos prontos desde as 9h da manhã só esperando o comando pra publicar. Foi encontrado nos metadados por uns colegas aqui.

Porque usar a situação do transporte? Porque todo ano temos algum problema relacionado a isso, então não seria algo que levantaria muitas suspeitas.

Nós brasileiros já sabemos que é proibido utilizar esses adesivos em bens públicos, assim como é proibido pedir voto nas escolas… já sabemos. Mas porque mesmo assim integrantes de um sindicato foram fazer isso as 4h da manhã, como mostra as imagens?

Algum tipo de parada nas apurações precisava acontecer, como vem acontecendo desde Dilma x Aécio, para eles “organizarem” o resultado como querem e isso foi muito questionado, até pela mídia, no 1 turno. Porque logicamente que no 1 turno também teve parada. Então penso que se acontecesse novamente do mesmo jeito levantaria muitas suspeitas, portanto inventaram todo esse teatro.

Estamos arrasados, a chance de todas essas coincidências acontecer é absurda. Não somos idiotas, mas infelizmente já estamos amordaçados porque já sabemos o fim de quem questionar.

[I'm tired boss @Imtiredbaus117]

@emd_worldwide @LulaOficial He will reap what he sows. I highly doubt he will remain in power

[Martin De Luca @emd_worldwide]

It doesn’t. Just ask @LulaOficial and @Cristianozaninm to explain how they won. Allow an independent international examination of the data or re-do the runoff. Those are the only credible options.

More than that, nobody expected Lula to win. Not the people in the streets and not the most sophisticated investors in the world. That, combined with all the other shocking developments of yesterday, tells you what you need to know.

Brazil’s markets set to tumble as investors bet Lula will add to fiscal pain https://t.co/RNjT4FUf4T

[Martin De Luca @emd_worldwide]

Markets are reacting to the political instability that’s coming. They understand that Lula will have a hard time defending the credibility of what happened yesterday and that he likely wont agree to redoing the runoff. That, followed by the persecution of the opposition in the coming weeks, is what is roiling the markets.

@realMaalouf They’re thinking. Give them a few days to come up with something.

[Martin De Luca @emd_worldwide]

@BasedMikeLee this time it was Lula’s personal lawyer who was also his campaign lawyer in 2022 that extended it. That guy Cristiano Zanin is now a judge in the Supreme Court with Moraes. But, importantly, the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction and no legal basis to intervene. And they did it anyway.

🚨🇧🇷 Brazil's voting extension just got even MORE complicated. Some voters may now have to cast PAPER BALLOTS!

CNN Brasil reported from Paraná that voters still waiting to cast their ballots were instructed to move to another location while election officials awaited further guidance.

The expectation was that they would likely vote using paper ballots because the necessary ballots were not available at the polling station and had to be transported from the Regional Electoral Court in Curitiba, roughly 40 mins away.

This comes after confusion over the extension of voting until 7 PM Brasília time.

So yes: at least at this location, officials were preparing for the possibility of paper voting after the normal electronic process was disrupted.
