		Brazil voted for change, despite a scare campaign by his opponent and the international financial markets insinuating that the left-wing Lula would turn the economy into a full-blown chaos.
		The radical rhetoric of his previous campaigns disappeared and the former position of the PT to declare a moratorium on Brazil's government debt payments was substituted with a pledge to repay it, and to maintain a primary surplus sufficient to stabilise it.
		Serra's problem was that the PSDB had defaulted in the eight years Cardoso had lead the government.

	The GULLY \| Brazil \| Lula's Closet
		Economic advisers to Brazil's leftist presidential front-runner, Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva, are already holding talks with the IMF about the handling of the country's external debt and adjustment policies, the Buenos Aires daily Clarín reported yesterday.
		Brazil's currency, the real, has lost almost 40 percent of its value this year.
		The scare tactics don't seem to be working, judging by Serra's plummeting support and high negatives (58 percent of voters actively dislike him, compared to Lula's 28 percent).

		Serra justified the move, saying six months of negotiations with Roche failed to lower the drug's price sufficiently for Brazil to be able to distribute the drug free of charge to all in need.
		Brazil, has the highest number of AIDS victims in Latin America, with about 203,000 people suffering from the disease.
		Serra said the country's weakening currency, which dropped from around 1.90 reals to the U.S. dollar in Jan. to around 2.50 reals to the dollar Thursday, was a factor in the government's decision.

		Serra left Brazil for a life of exile, during which he received advanced degrees in economics in Chile and the United States.
		Serra's chances appear to have been hurt by slow economic growth and the continuing decline of the Brazilian currency because of months of market uncertainty over the elections.

	washingtonpost.com: Leftist Takes Big Lead In Brazil
		In the case of a showdown with Serra -- Brazil's former health minister, who is noted internationally for his fight to bring down the cost of AIDS drugs -- Lula is expected to carry many of the votes that went to two other left-leaning candidates.
		In Brazil, the ascension of a candidate such as Lula -- who has no formal higher education and whose father abandoned his poor family of nine when Lula was a child -- would be unprecedented.
		The inclusion of Brazil, which represents more than half of Latin America's industrial production, is seen as essential to the success of an agreement, making a Lula victory here a major hurdle to the Bush administration's hopes of uniting the region under the banner of free trade.

		Brazil, weighed down by $230 billion in foreign debt, saw its currency in a freefall in recent weeks over ability to keep up debt obligations and also adjust to a possible Silva victory.
		At Serra headquarters, where the atmosphere changed from depression to elation when it became clear he would face Silva in a runoff, people were celebrating as if their candidate had won.

	Brazilian Elections - Serra - Lula - Brazil - Worldpress.org
		Though Serra, the handpicked successor to Social Democrat President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, won just 23 percent of the vote in the first round of voting on Oct. 6, he managed to keep the Workers' Party candidate from winning the 51 percent of the vote he needed to clinch the elections on the spot.
		Serra has compared Lula to the pilot of a crashing plane who must rely on the passengers to save him; Lula’s politics can’t work in reality; inflation will return; Brazil will become another Argentina; the Workers’ Party is the party of rioting radicals.
		Serra’s biggest liability is that he is from the ruling party, widely seen as the sole supporter of neo-liberal policies that have favored bankers and caused the dollar to skyrocket against the real, thus raising the cost of imported goods.

		On Wednesday, the health minister announced that Brazil had halted negotiations with Roche and would cease respecting its patent on Nelfinavir because the company refused to sufficiently lower the "abusive" price of the drug.
		But according to Serra, Brazil was "on hold" with Roche since April and had begun in the meantime looking into how the drug was made.
		Brazil currently produces seven of the 12 anti-AIDS drugs and provides them to 95,000 Brazilians for free, a strategy which has cut the AIDS-related mortality rate in the giant South American nation by 40 percent since 1997, when the program was implemented.

		The Serra is under immense pressure from the population centres of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, as well as from the development of mass tourism, farming, deforestation, poaching and palmito (palm heart) thieves.
		These areas are still subject to the ravages of developers, archaic land registration, and simple ignorance of the law, but the Serra still contains large tracts of virgin forest, often connected by trails used by the local population, varying in hiking time from a few hours to several days.
		The one exception to this is the Upper Ribeira valley, home to Brazil's highest concentration of limestone caves, formed by the sea bed that was pushed up by the mountains, and the continual downpour it receives.

		Brazil argued that the law only applied to cases where the patent holder abuses their economic power, a loophole specifically allowed by the TRIPS agreement.
		Brazil invoked the Article 71 for the first time on August 22, 2001, when Jose Serra, Brazil’s Minister of Health, authorized Far Manguinhos—a Brazilian pharmaceutical company—to produce Nelfinavir, a drug patented by Pfizer but licensed to Roche in the Brazilian market.
