Live, the scenes on Globo were of Lula trying to go out to party. William Bonner was narrating, when the voice of Renata Lo Prete warned, in the background: “It’s over, Bonner”.
And the latter finally proclaimed: “There it is. At 7:57 pm, Renata Lo Prete called my attention to this moment. You can see it on the screen. The Electoral Justice has just confirmed the victory of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, from the PT”.
Datafolha had projected the victory, newspapers around the world were already reporting in headlines, from the Argentinian Clarín to the Spaniard El País, and then the headlines of the New York Times and others entered.
The statements ranged from the simple “Lula wins the elections” to “Brazil elects Lula, a former leftist leader, in disapproval of Bolsonaro” (below), emphasizing the defeat of the “far-right movement”, which comes from victories in different countries. rich.
‘STUNNING COMEBACK’
The anxiety of the two Globo presenters with the national score, for hours and especially at the end, was reproduced around the world.
The English Guardian, like the Brazilians, replicated in real time the data that were released by the Superior Electoral Court, and became a reference for others, such as the American Semafor.
In the end, the Guardian pointed to his “amazing return”, while Semafor ventured “He’s Back”, he returned. Also on Bloomberg, “amazing comeback”.
On Shanghai’s Guancha portal, which interviewed the former president at the start of the campaign and was now one of the first Chinese outlets to feature, the headline went to “Official Results Announced in Brazil: Lula Laughs Last” (below).
NO PARTY
At Globo, as soon as the news broke, Lo Prete drew attention to the fact that he was the first president to return to office, having been elected, in both passages, “in a democratic way”.
And Bonner, who had already praised the country’s democratic system several times, then addressed the doubt about Bolsonaro calling and recognizing Lula’s victory, as he promised on Globo itself.
Meanwhile, SBT and other networks have turned to regular Sunday programming, including Programa Silvio Santos.
