IT’S been a week since Brazil announced that its former president Luiz a Lula da Silva won the election over his rival Jair Bolsonaro. Da Silva will come to power on January 1, 2023, and faces an uphill battle to unite a nation divided by the far-right policies of the Bolsonaro reign.
The president-elect must solve issues which include 33 million people facing hunger and 100m living in poverty as well as his promises to build more affordable housing and better manage energy and water.
