Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva confirmed, after winning the presidency, that Brazilians voted to ensure democracy in the country, considering that the elections constituted a defeat for what he described as “the axis of lies, rumors and fake news.” Lula stressed that Brazil would not accept being "anyone's backyard."
