[Video] Aftereffects of the Brazilian presidential election... The shocking story of his trip to America

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Go Hyeon-sil = The aftermath of the Brazilian presidential election is severe.

In the runoff election held on the 25th, President Luiz Inácio Lula Dasiva defeated Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and won a fourth term.

President Lula came in second place, losing 2.2 million votes to candidate Bolsonaro in the first round of voting on the 4th of this month, but won the runoff by a margin of 4.4 million votes.

The reason behind the victory in the presidential election is the rallying of supporters through social media (SNS).

At the center is the WhatsApp channel ‘Lula’s Army’.

Representative Andre Zanones, a close ally of President Lula, reorganized his channel after losing in the first round and attracted more than 10 million followers in just three weeks.

The online sensation led to a voting frenzy.

Song Gwang-ho, a Yonhap News correspondent who reported on the site, said, "Brazilian voters tend to show up to the polls late, but on this day, the voting procession continued from the morning," adding, "Local people also responded that it was a very unusual incident."

Supporters were enthusiastic about Lula's dramatic comeback victory, but noise also arose over the unprecedented extension of voting time.

On the day of the runoff election, the two candidates each requested an extension of voting hours due to lack of public transportation and bad weather, and the Supreme Court Justice accepted the request, extending voting hours by two hours.

However, Rep. Bolsonaro declared his dissent, claiming election fraud.

Afterwards, the repercussions grew even bigger as he left for the United States despite the court's ban on leaving the country.

As circumstances surrounding support from members of the Trump administration were discovered, there were even predictions that this could escalate into a conflict between Brazil and the United States.
