Lula, the worker-president ready for the great return


Happiness and sadness erupt throughout Brazil at the end of the defeat for the presidential ballot that gave victory to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Carousels of cars and motorbikes, shouts from the windows of the apartments, honking sounds and flags in the wind fill the streets of the main cities.

On the one hand, the supporters of the former trade unionist, in tears of joy, on the other, the silence of disappointment from the fans of Jair Bolsonaro.

In a nation split in half, the most polarized elections in the country's history are reflected in the moods of its citizens, divided by opposing supporters as in a national football final.

In Rio de Janeiro, the second largest metropolis of the South American giant, cheering voters flocked to the beach, flooding the Copacabana neighborhood with their joy.
