Reply to comment by _PM_ME_YOUR_FORESKIN in Brazil will have first Indigenous woman chief for key post by Slavic_Dusa

The election was extremely tight, so there are lots of angry people here, some are even camping outside military bases asking for a military coup.

It's very similar to how it was in the US after Trump lost.

As for positive changes: Lula was president for pretty much the whole of Brazil's golden years, when 1USD was only 2BRL (its about 6BRL now), we were in the top 10 biggest economies, and huge social and welfare programs were ongoing. Lula also made sure to respect democracy and appoint people for their skill rather than to have them scratch his back later. Really hope we can get back to that and stop being the world's laughingstock.

He also got Brazil out of the UN's hunger map, Bolsonaro managed to get Brazil back on it though (first country to ever leave the map and be brought back).
