While Lula voters celebrate, the supporters of right-wing outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro are blocking roads across the country in an attempt to cause chaos and undermine the election. Bolsonaro remained silent on his defeat and the provocations until Tuesday when he agreed to a transition of power.
Ana Júlia Guedes, lawyer and militant of Levante Popular da Juventude, discusses Lula’s victory and the people’s movement’s continued struggle against right-wing reactionary forces.

Lula’s term will be cursed by this.
