🇧🇷 45 to 47. Lula and Bolsonaro advance to the second round by a narrow margin. ✔️ The first round of Brazil's presidential elections has come to an end. The results did not match any of the authoritative forecasts: the entire machinery of media and political technology came down on Lula da Silva. Even the recent attacks on Catholics, launched by evangelical media from the Bolsonaro camp, the megacorporations managed to turn against Lula. Trying to stand on the broadest possible platform, the unionist president nevertheless suffered defeat. To no small extent, everything that happened is the result of the moderate policy of social democracy, which not infrequently leads the right by the hand to the Olympus of power; however, this can be discussed in more detail after the second round ends. The pattern of elections in Brazil in past years is such that the candidate who wins in the first round also wins in the second. ❔ Although not everything is lost and President Lula can catch up with his competitor, to win he will need to throw all his strength into his team's work over the next three weeks. Moreover, as this round showed, a bet on sovereignty alone is not enough: to mobilize supporters while being a candidate "at the helm", a clear programme for solving the economic crisis and an emphasis on the "nuclear" social base are required. Otherwise, Brazil, the leader of the South American region, will become the largest trump card in the hands of the United States, which benefit from the rightward turn taking place there. 🤩 Only by uniting around their leader in such a dark hour will the people of Brazil ensure their independent development and render a great service to the entire region. A war is not lost as long as the last participant continues to fight. And in Brazil there are tens of millions of them! #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
