For two days after Da Silva was declared Brazilβs next president, incumbent Jair Bolsonaro kept silent, which fueled theories that the far-right leader was planning a hostile takeover of the country. He later agreed that power would be peacefully transferred.
The election, which required two rounds of voting on Oct. 2 and Oct 30, was tight, with Da Silva, better known as Lula, winning by 1.8% against the former army captain Bolsonaro.
Since Brazilβs presidential election, truck drivers have blocked major roadways demanding military intervention. Protests clogged city streets in support of Bolsonaro. The current president spent months claiming that the Brazilian electoral system was vulnerable to fraud, according to international media outlets.
The tension and claims of voter fraud are not dissimilar to what happened in the U.S. following the 2020 presidential election, according to media outlets, and the aftershocks of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol that are still being felt today with an ongoing special U.S. House panel investigation .

Cris Calil, a local Brazilian, said sheβs going back to Brazil later this week to join protests against what she believes was election fraud.
βItβs not possible he (Lula) won the election in the right way. It was a fraud. I am going to the streets to fight with everyone there. I am thankful for my friends doing this for me. We need to show that we donβt want this guy again,β Calil said.
Lula, a member of the Workerβs Party, was the 35th president of Brazil from 2003 until 2010. He is slated to be sworn in as the nationβs 39th president on Jan. 1, 2023.
In 2017, Lula was convicted on charges of money laundering and corruption and sentenced to more than nine years in prison. He spent 580 days in jail.
The Supreme Federal Court in 2021 nullified Lulaβs convictions and his political rights were restored, allowing him to run for the nationβs top office again.
βHe is a criminal, he just left the jail, and then our Supreme Court didnβt look at our Constitution,β Calil said.

Karina Odland said she became a U.S. citizen last month, and that she too wanted Bolsonaro to win, but doesn't doubt the election results.
βI was very sad after the results, because it was very close. The country is really divided, we can see,β Odland said. βItβs a good process that we have there. There are some people that say that there could be something wrong with the electronic system for voting, but itβs very effective."
Odland said she feels the political tension with her family in person, and online. βSometimes discussions happen there and we have to say, βHey, letβs stop this, we want peace within the family,'" she said.
"We have to respect everyone, even if itβs not the same opinion. As a family we love each other, we want to keep that,β Odland said.

Cesar Carvalho is a U.S. citizen living in south Fargo. He was returning back to Brazil for vacation on Monday, Nov. 7, when The Forum reached him. He too was upset about the election results.
Calling Lula a βdictatorβ and a βthief,β Carvalho said the former president should not have been allowed to run for office again. He talked about online censorship and corruption at the highest levels of the judicial system, adding he believes the election was fraudulent.
βWe are expecting the Army or something to help us," Carvalho said. People are in the streets and the Army needs to stop that and ask for another election, he said.
Carvalho, Odland and Calil feel a similar tension within the U.S. on issues related to elections.
βI believe itβs wrong for democracy. If you prove that there was fraud in Brazil, it would have a domino effect right here in the U.S.,β Carvalho said.
Calil believed the same election failures occurred in the U.S. "There was no way that Biden won the election. I think he won because everyone voted by mail," she said.

βI am trusting in the military and we the people here and in Brazil," Calil said. "We have the most power. We have to fight for our freedom or our wishes to come true."
Odland said she noticed a real change in politics and the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Itβs totally different when I got here and now the country is divided," she said.

President Jair Bolsonaro said in a written statement Tuesday that βBrazil always has faith in the impeccable performance of its Armed Forces in defense of our homeland and of the freedom of the Brazilian peopleβ. Bolsonaro attended the Sailorβs Day military ceremony on Tuesday. It is still not clear whether the military will act to defend Brazilian democracy from the egregious election fraud of Oct. 30. At least the Fedsurrection seems to have backfired, thanks to social media and the peaceful patience of Bolsonaristas, many of whom prefer to express themselves in Christian prayer.
Brazilβs National Congress, other sites raided by pro-Bolsonaro protesters opposing Lula victory
The demonstrations come a week after leftist President Luiz InΓ‘cio Lula da Silva was sworn

A chaotic scene unfolded in Brazil's capital Sunday as hundreds of supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Congress, the Supreme Court, and the presidential palace calling for a military intervention to overthrow President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Portuguese news agency LUSA reports the protesters attempted to storm Brasilia's Planalto Palace, the official workplace of the Brazilian president. President Silva was reportedly not on site.

Footage making the rounds on social media shows throngs of protesters β many wearing the green and yellow colors of the national flag β ransacking the building, with shattered glass and what appears to be teargas visible throughout.
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the United States "condemns any effort to undermine democracy in Brazil."
"President Biden is following the situation closely and our support for Brazil's democratic institutions is unwavering," he tweeted. "Brazil's democracy will not be shaken by violence."

The incidents, which recalled the Jan. 6 invasion of the U.S. Capitol, come just a week after leftist President Luiz InΓ‘cio Lula da Silva was sworn in on Jan. 1.
Bolsonaro supporters have been protesting against Lula's electoral win since Oct. 30, blocking roads, setting vehicles on fire, and gathering outside military buildings, and asking the armed forces to intervene.
The former president, who flew to the U.S. ahead of Lula's inauguration, has not commented on Sunday's events. The social media channels of his three lawmaker sons also were silent.
At about 5:30 p.m. local time, less than three hours after the storming, security forces seemed to be regaining control of the presidential palace and Supreme Court's surroundings, while thousands of protesters remained around Congress and on its roof.
Federal District Gov. Ibaneis Rocha confirmed on Twitter that he had fired the capital city's head of public security, Anderson Torres.
