Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) beat Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) in the second round of the 2026 elections, in an unprecedented turn of events in the Brazilian presidential race. The president was re-elected for a fourth term, which begins on January 5, 2027.
The victory, however, does not eliminate the political and economic challenges that Lula will face. The president will need to negotiate with a strengthened opposition Congress to advance his agenda, in addition to dealing with the pressure for an adjustment in public accounts, the cost of living and the debt of Brazilians, in a scenario of economic slowdown expected for 2027.
Among the proposals presented by Lula are measures to renegotiate debts, increase the minimum wage, expand access to health and education, combat organized crime and strengthen Brazil's international operations.
See below Lula's main proposals, organized by theme.
The proposals were raised based on the government program released by the campaign and also from public statements made by the candidate at events, interviews, live broadcasts on the internet and posts on social networks, among other means.
