Brazil celebrates Lula's historic election victory

Tens of thousands of people filled the streets of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to celebrate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's historic election victory, with fireworks and car horns marking the result. Lula defeated challenger Flávio Bolsonaro by over four million votes, a win supporters called a victory for democracy, minorities, and workers. Bolsonaro has refused to concede, and his supporters allege the election was stolen. The victory is historic as it marks the first time since Brazil's return to democracy in the 1980s that a candidate who lost the first round won the runoff. Crowds chanted "no amnesty," referencing Bolsonaro's pledge to pardon his imprisoned father, former President Jair Bolsonaro.
