The inauguration of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as the new president of Brazil on January 1st of this year inaugurated a government that seems to inspire hope both among Brazilian citizens and abroad. The political and economic effects stemming from this change of power are expected to have repercussions primarily in Latin America.
"Lula", the Workers' Party (PT) candidate for the presidency for the fourth time, achieved an overwhelming victory against his opponent, José Serra, the candidate of outgoing President Fernando Henrique Cardoso.
The president-elect obtained 53 million votes in the last election, 61,2% of the total, the largest electoral support in the country's history. These results reveal a profound desire for change on the part of Brazilian society and a resounding rejection of the so-called neoliberal policies practiced by Cardoso.
The victory of 'Lula' da Silva marks a series of unusual events in Brazil, as he is the first left-wing candidate, the first worker and the first politician without a university degree to run for President.
It is worth highlighting the support of millions of sympathizers who voted for Lula da Silva for President, leading to widespread post-election celebrations in most cities across the country.
