There was a global sigh of relief as Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as Lula, beat fascist Jair Bolsonaro by a narrow margin, securing 50.9% of the votes. He’ll begin his role in the new year. The victory came after reports of police trying to disrupt the election on the streets.
After his victory, Lula stated:
'It wasn’t Lula against Bolsonaro, it was a campaign of democracy against barbarity.'"

As the world waits for Bolsonaro to concede defeat, we can cautiously celebrate the fall of another far-right leader

Most jurors can’t swallow the idea that people would admit to crimes they had not committed… 73% of juries will vote to convict even when the admissions have been repudiated by the defendant or contradicted by physical evidence…
Almost none of these defendants come to modern courtrooms with physical scars from interrogation-room beatings. [Instead such beatings have] been replaced by psychological techniques too subtle to leave visible marks… Fear of suffering such abuses...triggered their confessions”
