Lula administration
The third presidency of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva began on 1 January 2023, following the 2022 Brazilian general election and the transfer of power from Jair Bolsonaro. The administration has navigated tensions involving the Supreme Federal Court (Brazil), the National Congress of Brazil, and regional actors such as governors of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Amazonas. It has pursued policies intersecting with institutions like the Central Bank of Brazil, the Ministry of Economy (Brazil), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Brazil).
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, leader of the Workers' Party (Brazil), previously served as president from 2003 to 2010 and returned after victory in the 2022 Brazilian presidential election runoff against incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. His campaign mobilized coalitions including the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB), Democratic Labour Party (PDT), and figures such as Geraldo Alckmin, Ciro Gomes, and Fernando Haddad. The electoral context featured debates over the role of the Superior Electoral Court (Brazil), allegations before the Federal Police (Brazil) and the legacy of prosecutions by former judge Sérgio Moro. International observers from organizations like the Organization of American States and diplomatic missions from United States, European Union, and China monitored the vote and aftermath.
The administration has engaged with legislative priorities in the National Congress of Brazil, negotiating with leaders of the Chamber of Deputies (Brazil) and the Federal Senate (Brazil), including figures from the Progressistas and Republicanos (Brazil) parties. Policy areas have involved coordination with the Ministry of Health (Brazil), the Ministry of Education (Brazil), and the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (Brazil), as well as interactions with trade unions such as the Central Única dos Trabalhadores and social movements like the Landless Workers' Movement (MST). High-profile appointments drew scrutiny from the Brazilian Bar Association and civil society groups including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Economic strategy combined engagement with the Central Bank of Brazil and the Ministry of Economy (Brazil), negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, and policy dialogue with corporations such as Petrobras and Vale S.A.. Fiscal decisions included measures relating to the Fiscal Responsibility Law (Brazil) and the federal budget approved by the National Congress of Brazil. The administration addressed inflation tracked by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and interest rates set by the Brazilian Central Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (Copom), while interacting with markets in São Paulo Stock Exchange and multilateral lenders like the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank.
Reinstatement and expansion of cash-transfer mechanisms drew on precedents like Bolsa Família and programs promoted by Minister of Social Development (Brazil). The administration coordinated with municipalities such as São Paulo (city), Salvador, Bahia, and Manaus to deliver services through agencies including the National Institute of Social Security (INSS)]. Initiatives targeted partnerships with non-governmental organizations such as Caritas Internationalis and academic research centers at University of São Paulo and Federal University of Rio de Janeiro to address poverty, health outcomes related to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, and hunger monitored by the Food and Agriculture Organization.
Environmental policy involved the Ministry of the Environment (Brazil), enforcement through the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), and collaboration with the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization and agencies in Amapá and Pará. The administration reversed regulatory positions taken under Jair Bolsonaro and reengaged with initiatives like the Paris Agreement and bilateral talks with leaders of Peru, Colombia, and Bolivia on Amazon conservation. Controversies involved interactions with agribusiness groups such as the Confederação da Agricultura e Pecuária do Brasil and indigenous organizations including the National Indigenous People’s Foundation and communities in the Yanomami territory.
Foreign policy emphasized reengagement with the United States, the European Union, the BRICS group, and emerging partners such as China and India. Diplomatic actions included appointments at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Brazil), participation in forums like the United Nations General Assembly and the Summit of the Americas, and mediation efforts involving countries such as Venezuela and Argentina. Trade and investment discussions engaged with the World Trade Organization, the Mercosur bloc, foreign ministries of France and Germany, and missions from Japan and South Korea.
The administration has faced legal scrutiny in the Supreme Federal Court (Brazil), investigations by the Federal Police (Brazil)], and political opposition in the National Congress of Brazil. High-profile disputes touched on appointments challenged under the Federal Constitution (Brazil), allegations involving business figures linked to J&F Investimentos and construction firms like OAS (company), and debates over judicial decisions associated with former magistrates such as Sérgio Moro. Protests in locations like Brasília, São Paulo (city), and Porto Alegre involved groups including supporters of Jair Bolsonaro and unions allied with the Workers' Party (Brazil), while international human rights organizations monitored responses to demonstrations and policing by Federal Highway Police (Brazil) and state public security forces.
