Lula da Silva, president of Brazil, will travel to Spain on Monday, November 16, to show his support for Pedro Sánchez in the campaign for the general elections on 29N. The meeting between both leaders will come after the Brazilian's electoral victory, who managed to revalidate his mandate after winning the second round against candidate Flávio Bolsonaro.
During his visit, Lula will hold a meeting with Sánchez and participate in a PSOE campaign event, an appearance that will allow the Spanish president to count on the public backing of one of the main references of the Latin American left.
Lula's victory in Brazil, a boost for Sánchez's PSOE
The visit comes at a time when the socialists have turned the Brazilian electoral result into one of their campaign arguments. Lula obtained 51.79% of the votes, compared to 48.21% for Flávio Bolsonaro, after overcoming the disadvantage he had registered in the first round.
Pedro Sánchez was one of the first international leaders to congratulate the Brazilian and establish a parallel between both electoral scenarios. "What happened in Brazil will happen in Spain," he wrote on his social networks after the result was known.
