Left-leading leaders across the Americas welcomed Brazilian President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s win on social media Sunday after he defeated opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro.
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.
