Background: On October 27, 2002, the overwhelming majority of Brazilians awarded
Workers Party (PT) candidate Luiz Inacio da Silva, known as Lula, a resounding
victory in the nation's presidential elections. Representatives of the Bush
administration have clearly expressed their displeasure with the elections and
Lula's opposition to the Free Trade of the Americas Agreement (FTAA).
Come hear Luis Fernandes' analysis of what Lula's victory represents, the alliance
that made it possible, and his projections of what comes next!
