The day before yesterday the elections ended in Brazil. According to its results, for the period from 2023 to 2026, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will be the President of the country.
The Russian-language segment of Telegram exploded with jubilation and approval of such changes. Slogans like “pro-Russian turn”, “this is good for Russia” and photos with Castro flooded the Internet. However, is it really so?
In essence, the situation, if not the reverse, is far from positive. We have already discussed the pre-election programs, the political (and not only) background of both candidates, the regional situation and possible scenarios. Let’s dwell on the details of the inner background.
Not that Bolsonaro was “our candidate” or “father of the nation”, however, it is fair to point out that he most likely was defeated due to the economic neoliberalism of Paulo Guedes, the economy minister in the Bolsonaro administration. Guedes is Soros’s man and it was an absolutely foolish to entrust the national economy to the agent of the biggest propagandist of globalist programs on the planet. Moreover, during the last weeks of the election campaign, Guedes privatist and inhumane statements reached a new level.
However, Lula also has nothing to celebrate. His victory is Pyrrhic, as noted by the Brazilian political scientist Rafael Machado.
“First, he will have to deal with a Congress that is more Bolsonarist and liberal-conservative than the previous one. His real management will be limited. But Lula’s hands are tied not so much by Bolsonarism (which will outlive Bolsonaro) as by his own allies,” he writes.
And it is undoubtedly true. Let’s remember that Lula was arrested for a hybrid military operation called «Operation Lava Jato» (or «Car Wash») by US-controlled lawyers, which became tools for the fragmentation of large Brazilian companies. In general, all Latin American media then wrote that this operation was aimed at “undermining Brazilian sovereignty and protecting US interests” and its origins date back to Bush Jr. But one issuing the arrest warrant can also issue the release order.
“Lula was released not because of the “voice of the streets”, but because they saw in him (with clipped wings — ed.) a safer option than the unbalanced Bolsonaro,” writes Rafael.
However, the most important was the support provided by the banks, the judiciary and the Atlanticist authorities.
Partido dos Trabalhadores (eng. The Workers’ Party) received the largest number of donations from banks, with a focus on Banco Itaú.
“Banks fondly remember the period of government of the Partido dos Trabalhadores, a time when they had the biggest profits in our country’s history.,” Machado emphasizes.
In the US, everyone from Biden to Sanders, Nuland, Austin, Blinken showed great interest in the Brazilian elections and expressed their preference for Lula and their rejection of Bolsonaro, and it is clear why.
Digging deeper into the electoral process itself, we don’t want to delve into conspiracy theories, but it’s worth mentioning that the Brazilian electronic voting machines run on Oracle software developed by CIA and NSA officer Larry Ellison.
Today, many write that after the victory, Lula was congratulated by the leaders of anti-American countries: Bolivia, Cuba, Venezuela, as well as Mexico, Colombia and Argentina. But, first, Colombia today is one of the most pro-American countries on the continent, a vivid example of this is Blinken’s October visit to Bogota and the initiatives of Petro himself. And second, Biden also did not delay the congratulations, calling the elections fair and free. In addition, the leaders of France, Germany, Chile and other participants in the post-liberal globalist project were expressing their support throughout the electoral process.
What price will Brazil and Latin America pay, to what extent Lula will be able to conduct an independent sovereign policy and make decisions, questions about the LGBT agenda, transhumanism and transnationalism of leftist leaders remain open. But the fact that Latin American region and Russia also should not expect abrupt political changes is obvious.
