Brazil keeps left: what Lula’s victory means for his country and beyond

Brazil's president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has secured victory in the presidential race, marking a shift to the left in the country. This outcome is significant for Brazil's economy, as Lula's policies often favor social welfare and government intervention. The victory could also impact international trade and relations, particularly with countries that have close ties with Brazil's previous right-leaning government. The shift in Brazil's politics may have broader implications for the region and the global economy.
