Celebrations broke out across Brazil on Sunday when, after a divisive race, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Brazil's former president representing the Workers Party, ousted far-right President Jair Bolsonaro in one of the most significant elections in Latin American history.Araújo added that the bills contain setbacks in environmental law that violate the rights of Indigenous peoples and the right to an ecologically balanced environment as guaranteed by the Brazilian constitution.On top of this, while leftists took the presidential race this weekend, many local Amazonian regions elected right-wing, pro-agribusiness leaders and Bolsonaro received a majority vote in over half of Brazil's Amazonian states.The election of Lula marks a swing back to the left, joining Brazil with six other Latin American countries that have voted in leftist leaders in the past four years.Lawmakers maintain some leverage over Brazil's federal budget, but representatives will also need to stay close to the executive branch to access funding for their bases."
