The reactions of Italian politics
The secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein was the first Italian politician to congratulate Lula. "The nationalist right can be beaten despite their power, their algorithms and their billions. It's not just the Bolsonaro dynasty that loses, Trump and his allies also lose with their attempts to interfere in the Brazilian elections," he wrote on social media, in reference to Bolsonaro's closeness to the US president and the accusations leveled at Meta of having attempted to slow down the spread of Lula's content on social media. The comment of the leader of Italia Viva Matteo Renzi is similar: "The Brazilian results tell us that Trump's embrace is once again decisive for the defeat, as already in Canada, Australia, Hungary". Angelo Bonelli, deputy of the Green and Left Alliance and co-spokesperson for Green Europe, speaks of an "extraordinary victory for Brazil and hope for all of us who fight for a more just world, where people and the planet come before the interests of the few".
Von der Leyen: “Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil”
Support for Lula also comes from the president of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. "Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil. The partnership between Europe and Brazil is thriving. We will stand by you in the years to come. Together we will continue to work closely for free and open trade. For a rules-based global order. And for ambitious climate goals," he wrote on X.
Congratulations from Macron and Sanchez
Satisfaction with the results also comes from France and Spain. The head of the Elysée Emmanuel Macron congratulated Lula, hoping to "live the friendship between our two countries at the service of a more just world" in the face of the "great challenges" of today's world. "France and Brazil have a lot to build together," he wrote on. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez applauds Lula's "great victory" and writes that "what happened in Brazil will also happen in Spain", in view of the November 29 elections. “The remontada of global progressivism has just begun,” he adds.
Congratulations from Carney
Congratulations for Lula also from Ottawa. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney underlines that bilateral relations with Brazil have "flourished" under Lula's presidency. “Let us take this opportunity to further strengthen them, together,” the leader said.
China "takes note" of Lula's success
The words coming from Beijing are more measured. "China has taken note of the announcement by the Superior Electoral Court of Brazil that President Lula won the run-off of the Brazilian general election, and expresses its congratulations," Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said during a regular briefing, adding that Beijing is "willing to work together with Brazil to continue promoting the construction of a Sino-Brazilian community with a shared future."
