Alex HochuliGUEST
And, uh, that means that, uh, he kind of w- ended up being kind of compelled to, uh, run again.
Alex HochuliGUEST
Um, it's, uh, even notable that there wasn't any other alternative institutional left candidacy from any other party where previously there always has been, whether it's the, um, slightly more kind of nationalist developmentalist PDT party which has a long history, uh, whether it's the more kind of, uh, l- radical left PSOL party.
Alex HochuliGUEST
A- anyway, there's always been kind of alternative candidacy on the left and now it was only Lula, uh, and only the PT.
Alex HochuliGUEST
So over the course of, uh, his, this kind of third term in office of, of his, third non-consecutive of course, but uh, things have, you know, stabilized but there's been very little capacity for the executive to drive through new policies because Congress has become very powerful, too powerful in a, and is only interested in pork barrel spending, which is itself a product of the Bolsonaro years.
Thais BilenkyHOST
Só que, veja bem, vamo lá.
Thais BilenkyHOST
O PL, com o Novo, tem 131 deputados, tá? A esquerda, o PT, PSB, PSOL, PCdoB, PV, PDT e Rede, somados, 124.
José Roberto de ToledoHOST
Mais ou menos ali.
José Roberto de ToledoHOST
Uhum.
Vincent BevinsGUEST
The left increased seats.
Vincent BevinsGUEST
The li- the, like, the PT, the Communist Party, PSOL, they all increased their representation in Congress.
Vincent BevinsGUEST
What happened is that the extreme right, uh, let's say, rediscovered the party form as a vehicle for political transformation, right? Like, they moved from their era of insurgent digitally coordinated street politics to institutionalization.
Liz FranczakHOST
Mm.
Tanya Kane-ParryCORRESPONDENT
That's according to news outlet Agência de Adorim.
Tanya Kane-ParryCORRESPONDENT
Winners hailed from the Workers' Party, the Communist Party of Brazil, the Socialism and Liberty Party, and the Green Party, to name a few, most of whom are allies of the incumbent president, Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva.
Tanya Kane-ParryCORRESPONDENT
One of them was Tabeta Pimenta, the first out transgender representative elected to the Brazilian National Congress from the country's northeast.
Tanya Kane-ParryCORRESPONDENT
Pimenta was preceded by the election of fellow trans lawmakers Erica Hilton and Duda Salabert in 2022.
Thais BilenkyHOST
Aí tem toda a bancada do Nikolas Ferreira, que ele fez mais de 20 deputados pelo país inteiro, como a reeleição do André Fernandes em, em, no Ceará.
Thais BilenkyHOST
E aí cê tem do outro lado da esquerda, sobretudo no PSOL, mas não somente, campeãs de votação como a Erika Hilton, com mais de 1 milhão e meio, a Sâmia Bomfim com mais de meio milhão de votos, a Duda Salabert e a Annelise.
Thais BilenkyHOST
A Annelise, do PT de Minas Gerais, de Divinópolis, é pra mim um símbolo da grande novidade dessa eleição, por mais de um motivo, mas todas essas figuras aqui a gente já conhecia de algum lugar.
Thais BilenkyHOST
A Annelise foi uma surpresa pra muita gente, inclusive pro próprio Lula.
James GreenGUEST
And so they're going to have to rebuild all that and rethink all that.
James GreenGUEST
And the other thing which is interesting, the small party to the left of the Workers' Party, the PSOL, the Party of Socialism and Liberty or Freedom, did very well in certain electoral cases.
James GreenGUEST
They're still a very small group and they're much more radical than the Workers' Party.
James GreenGUEST
I'm not saying that they're an alternative.

James GreenGUEST
And the other part of this is like new fresh people coming onto the stage.
James GreenGUEST
And The Workers' Party is not producing a lot of them.
James GreenGUEST
There are some new interesting candidates that have been elected in the PSOL.
James GreenGUEST
But again, this is not a political party that's going to be able to gain a lion's share of votes.

Mariana RiscaliGUEST
So the question is whether a country of Brazil's size and weight with its energy reserves, its minerals, its waters, its ports, its forests, is going to be administered with some autonomy or integrated as a subordinate partner into the project of Donald Trump.
Mariana RiscaliGUEST
And this is why also the election ranks among the most important elections in the international geopolitical dispute this year, only second to the American midterms that will happen in November.
Mariana RiscaliGUEST
Well, although Lula's government faces many limitations, most of the Brazilian left and PSOL, which is my party included, is supporting Lula's re-election.
Carol DiviakHOST
Some of them had previously promoted Castroism and petty-bourgeois guerrillaism as a substitute for the development of a mass revolutionary socialist workers' movement, with disastrous consequences throughout Latin America.
Carol DiviakHOST
in the founding of the p t they swung over to the conception that a bourgeois reformist party with ties to the unions could provide a unique brazilian parliamentary road to socialism that parliamentary road led the p t to become the preferred party of national and international finance capital and its corporatist union apparatus the principal instrument for suppressing the class struggle The political heirs of those revisionist tendencies, grouped today in and around the Socialism and Liberty Party, the PSOL, and the Morenoite organisations, have spent the past four years tying the working class to the PT and its broad front in the name of, quote, fighting fascism.
Carol DiviakHOST
From 2018 to 2026, this same mechanism has produced the same outcome, now under conditions of a far deeper crisis.
Carol DiviakHOST
An international process.
Vera MagalhãesHOST
Não ficou nada de pé.
Vera MagalhãesHOST
O que emerge de São Paulo é uma es-- nova esquerda, essa esquerda identitária do PSOL.
Vera MagalhãesHOST
É, Erika Hilton, que ficou no PSOL, não mudou pro PT, é a segunda deputada mais votada do Estado, a, a primeira deputada mulher mais votada do país, ééé, em todos os tempos.
Vera MagalhãesHOST
É, e a Tabata Amaral, que é desgostada pela ig-- pela esquerda petista, mas que é a quinta deputada do Estado.
Vera MagalhãesHOST
Então tem uma renovação na esquerda, mas de uma esquerda não petista.
Vera MagalhãesHOST
A petista mais bem, é, votada foi a filha do Zarattini, a Luana Zarattini.
Vera MagalhãesHOST
Mesmo assim, ela não tá no top dez de deputados mais votados.
Flávia BarbosaPANELIST
