Lula wins 4th term in Brazil, breaking right-wing wave
Brazil's leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 81, won a fourth term on Oct. 25, defeating right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in the runoff. With 99.76% of votes counted, Lula took 51.76% against Bolsonaro's 48.24%, according to Brazil's Superior Electoral Court, as reported by Chosun Ilbo and Maeil Business. The Korea Times notes Lula, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, was reelected in a result that provides relief to critics of widening U.S. influence in Latin America. Chosun Ilbo frames the win as a brake on the 'pro-Trump rightward shift' in Latin America, with Lula becoming Brazil's first four-term president.
