Brazilian bishops remind Lula of responsibility to all people

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Brazilian bishops reminded President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of his responsibility to the entire Brazilian people, including those who voted for other candidates. The statement followed the second round of presidential elections, in which Lula was reelected with 51.79% of the vote against Flávio Bolsonaro, who received 48.21%.

Lula's victory marks the first time since the end of the military dictatorship that a candidate who placed second in the first round has won the runoff. The president will serve his fourth term, which will be his second consecutive term, in a parliament that is more right-leaning than it was four years ago. While Flávio Bolsonaro initially questioned the election results following voting delays, his party accepted the outcome on Monday.
