The divided Brazil that has opted for democracy

The most important thing is to start as soon as possible, without the temptation of revenge, a campaign to reunify the country


Lula has won the presidential elections for the third time in his political career and Brazil has opted for democracy that appeared broken and threatened by an extreme right of fascist stamp.

Given that the victory of Lula and his team made up of a dozen parties that range from the extreme left to the moderate right has been less than expected in the face of a discredited Bolsonaro inside and outside Brazil, now the reconquest of trampled democratic values by Bolsonarism is going to be more complex than expected.

To understand it, it is necessary to remember that it was not a classic struggle between the left and the right.

What was at stake in these elections was much more with a country in which the forces of barbarism and the war against the values ​​of democracy had made these four years of government a real war.

Now that Lula and democracy have won at the polls, we will have to wait to see if Bolsonaro does not end up challenging the result to enter an intricate war that he does not seem willing to lose.

The terror, however, that Bolsonaro could win the lawsuit had the democratic forces on edge for hours.

What until very recently seemed impossible: a country divided between democratic forces and an extreme right that verges on fascism with even Nazi overtones has revealed a reality in these elections that will make Brazil never be the same again.

It will no longer be the country with an absolute majority betting on democracy against a minority with nostalgia for dictatorship and authoritarianism.

The result of the elections with a party country is going to force the progressive forces led by the skillful Lula to pay special attention so that the extreme right that seemed dead and has been resurrected does not continue to gain ground.

Political analysts explain that these authoritarian and extreme right-wing forces always existed but were hidden and it was Bolsonarism who resurrected them and gave them an identity card.

Now everything begins again and it is important that a leader like Lula has won, who understands politics and power games like few others.

Only he, at this time, would be capable of confronting the violent irruption of political extremism that has been resurrected with force.

One of Lula's important strategies at this time, when nobody knows how Bolsonaro is going to react to the defeat, tied as he is to all the other extreme right-wing movements in the world, is to immediately reinforce the democratic structures with the formation of a government of weight in which the most prominent personalities in the country participate without worrying excessively about whether they are from the left or not, at the same time that it offers a special role to the female political world that in Brazil has acquired a special force and has been fundamental in the difficult victory of democracy.

At this moment, and once the victory of the democratic forces is assured, the most urgent thing for Lula and his team is to strengthen the democratic structures trampled and humiliated by a boorish Bolsonarismo with no political identity other than barbarism while at the same time recovering the battered economy that has produced 30 millions of starving and offered still grim in their recovery.

And finally, and perhaps the most important thing, is to start as soon as possible, without the temptation of revenge, a campaign for the reunification of a Solomonically divided country, not only at the national level but even within families.

Perhaps for this reason, during his election campaign, Lula has insisted relentlessly on returning the country to its lost unity and reconciliation within the divided families.

The former trade unionist has surely won the elections because he has been able to convince the country, the Tyrians and Trojans, that he did not come with a vengeance but with the purpose of making Brazil smile again, enjoy again without rancor or revenge its riches and values.

In a word, that this giant country, the fifth largest in the world, with a vocation for happiness, is capable of forgetting and driving away the demons that were plunging it into despair and a climate of civil war that the result of the elections has happily dissipated.
