Take physic, pomp

Lula wins, Jair is ominously silent

The margin of victory is tight enough to sow doubt. With six hours now on the clock since Brazil’s official electoral body called it for Lula, we haven’t heard a word from Jair Bolsonaro and according to latest reports, neither have his own ministers. However, pro-Bolsonaro truckers have already called for a national strike to protest a result they are calling fixed. The way the international press and politicos are reacting make this election sound like a done deal, but don’t be so sure out there. It could become an interesting week of politics in Brazil and the ball is now in the right court.
