Luis Inácio Lula da Silva - Brazilian President

Tweet

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, born Luiz Inácio da Silva on October 27, 1945, popularly known as Lula, is the 39th and current President of Brazil. Lula was elected to the post in 27 October 2002 with 61% of the votes (run-off, "second-round" election between the two most voted "first-round" candidates), and took office on January 1, 2003. His politics were traditionally very left-wing, but he has moved closer to modern social democracy since he became Brazil's most left-leaning president since João Goulart. He was elected in the same ticket as his vice-president, José Alencar, formerly from the center Liberal Party, currently from the Brazilian Republican Party. On 29 October 2006, Lula was re-elected once more in the second round, and with more than 60% of the votes, extending his position as President of Brazil until the end of 2010. After this brief intro, tell me, do you know anything about the Brazilian President? If you are Brazilian, are you satisfied with his government? Tell us about it...
