Brazil: Democracy in Brazil, Lula wins: What next?

This activity is organised by Sweden Alumni Network Brazil and is open to all.

After narrowly winning the election with 50.9% of the votes, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will return to the presidency of Brazil for a third time on January 1, 2023.

The challenges he faces ahead are many. He has promised to work to unite a deeply polarized country, tackle poverty and hunger, return Brazil to international relevance, and address the huge challenge that is climate change, notably by targeting crime and deforestation in the Amazon.

All this amid far less auspicious international circumstances than when he first won the presidency 20 years ago, with the added domestic challenges of an uncertain economic outlook, looming fiscal difficulties, and a hostile congress.

How will Lula approach these challenges, and who will he surround himself with to tackle them? Gustavo Ribeiro, editor-in-chief of The Brazilian Report, will address these topics and others.

Venue: Swedcham, Rua Oscar Freire, 379 – 12º andar 01426 001 – São Paulo – Brasil
