The Point: Latin America turns left

CGTN, 02 Nov 2022
Former Brazilian President Lula da Silva is set to become the new president of Brazil, beginning on New Year's Day. He defeated incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro by a small margin in the run-off vote. This will be Lula's third term in office after his previous tenure between 2003 and 2010. His comeback is seen to have cemented a leftist momentum across Latin America, including in Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia. What has propelled the return of Lula? Why is Latin America tilting left? What could be regional or even international implications?
