Sao Paulo Skyscraper Turns Into Giant Brazilian Flag as President Lula Wins Fourth Term

A giant Brazilian flag glowed across a skyscraper facade above Avenida Paulista as crowds of Lula supporters sang and cheered in São Paulo on Sunday night, October 25.

X user Lucca Maver Rampinelli filmed the packed avenue, where people in red shirts raised their arms and waved flags under bright floodlights and red and yellow umbrellas. “Being Brazilian is so good!” the filmer wrote.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won the runoff with 51.79 percent of the valid votes, against 48.21 percent for Flávio Bolsonaro, according to the electoral court, a comeback after he trailed in the first round.

Crowds chanting “It’s the fourth!” in honour of Lula’s fourth term filled Avenida Paulista, where the president later addressed thousands of supporters in front of the São Paulo Museum of Art.
