Lula Da Silva: Victory Of An Immense Democratic Movement

This is the inaugural episode of host Teri Mattson’s weekly program, WTF is Going On in Latin America and the Caribbean, at its new home on Popular Resistance. You can watch the program live every Thursday on Popular Resistance’s Facebook Page and YouTube Channel at 7:30 pm Eastern/4:30 Pacific.

This week, Teri interviewed Michael Fox, an independent journalist and the host of Brazil on Fire, which is a Real News and NACLA production, about the recent presidential election in Brazil. Michael was in Brazil to cover the election.

On Sunday, October 30, Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva was elected to be the next president of Brazil in a stunning comeback following a tight runoff race against President Jair Bolsonaro. His victory is one of an immense movement returning democracy to Latin America’s largest country after four years of Bolsonaro’s far-right administration.
