Mateusz Grzeszczuk: The most important lesson from the elections in Brazil. Also for Poland

Three weeks ago, Bolsonaro's camp declared the end of the Workers' Party era, but Lula won the election with 51.8% of the votes. Despite his victory, Lula faces a divided nation, with nearly 60 million Brazilians voting for a candidate who questioned the election's legitimacy. Lula's campaign capitalized on Trump's tariffs, framing Brazil's sovereignty against U.S. influence. China congratulated Lula, seeing potential benefits in trade relations. Lula aims to balance ties with China, the U.S., and Europe, advocating for the EU-Mercosur trade agreement. Poland, concerned about agricultural imports, must consider broader relations with Brazil, which is crucial for fertilizers and food security. Lula's age suggests this may be his last term, raising questions about the future of Brazil's left and the right's acceptance of defeat.
