Dilma obtuvo un contundente triunfo y es la nueva presidenta de Brasil
31/10/10 - 20:00
La candidata de Lula obtuvo el 55 % de los votos y marcó una diferencia de más de 10 puntos respecto de su rival, José Serra. La economista, con 62 años, será la primera mujer en ejercer ese cargo en el vecino país.
Dilma Rousseff, de 62 años y candidata de Lula da Silva, ganó el balotaje contra José Serra y se convirtió así en la primera mujer que accederá a la Presidencia de Brasil, según datos del Tribunal Superior Electoral.
Postulada por el Partido de los Trabajadores (PT), alcanzó 55,6% de los votos frente a 44,5% de Serra, del Partido de la Social Democracia Brasileña (PSDB). Los resultados fueron recibidos con aplausos y gritos de júbilo en el Hotel Naoum de Brasilia, donde aliados de la presidenta electa y militantes de su campaña se congregaron para seguir el recuento de votos.
La aspirante presidencial recibió los resultados junto al presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva en el Palacio de la Alvorada, residencia oficial del gobernante. La mandataria electa es la cuarta elegida mediante sufragio universal desde 1985, cuando volvió la democracia a Brasil después de 21 años de dictadura militar.
Una romería de líderes de los partidos aliados de Rousseff, ministros, legisladores y gobernadores fueron llegando al lugar a la espera del pronunciamiento de la candidata. Los militantes festejaban con gritos y ovaciones.
La candidatura de Rousseff, que asumirá su cargo el 1 de enero de 2011, fue impulsada por el popular presidente Lula, quien se involucró de lleno en la campaña y puso a favor de su candidata su prestigio y aparato político.
En el primer turno de las elecciones, realizado el 3 de octubre, Rousseff parecía encaminarse a una tranquila victoria, pero los sondeos no previeron la fuerza del voto religioso, que favoreció a la ecologista Marina Silva, tercera colocada y de confesión evangélica, lo que forzó la realización del balotaje. Silva dejó libertad de elección este domingo a sus casi 20 millones de votantes.
Además del Presidente de la República, los brasileños votaron este domingo en segundo turno para escoger a los gobernadores de ocho estados y del Distrito Federal, donde está localizada Brasilia, la capital del país.
Los estados de Sao Paulo, Río de Janeiro y Minas Gerais, ya liquidaron la factura en la primera vuelta, con la elección de Gerardo Alckmin (socialdemócrata, oposición), Sergio Cabral (Movimiento Democrático, oficialista) y Antonio Anastasia (socialdemócrata, oposición), respectivamente.
De esa forma, se realizaron elecciones para gobernadores en los estados de Alagoas, Pernambuco, Piauí, Goiás, Pará, Amapá, Roraima y Rondonia, además del Distrito Federal.

SÃO PAULO, Brazil — Dilma Rousseff was elected the country’s first female president on Sunday, as Brazilians voted strongly in favor of continuing the economic and social policies of the popular president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Ms. Rousseff, who served as Mr. da Silva’s chief of staff and energy minister, joins a growing wave of democratically elected female leaders in the region and the world in the past five years, including Michelle Bachelet in Chile, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in Argentina and Angela Merkel in Germany.
Ms. Rousseff, 62, defeated José Serra, the former governor of São Paulo, with 56 percent of the vote to 44 percent, official numbers showed.
In choosing Ms. Rousseff, who has no elected political experience, voters sent a message that they preferred to give the governing Workers Party more time to broaden the successful economic policies of Mr. da Silva, whose government deepened economic stability and lifted millions of Brazilians out of poverty and into the lower middle classes.
In her victory speech, Ms. Rousseff pledged to focus on eradicating poverty, which she described as an “abyss that still keeps us from being a developed nation.” She has indicated that she favors giving the state greater control over the economy, especially the oil industry, potentially steering the country further to the left.
After serving two four-year terms, Mr. da Silva was barred from seeking re-election, and he hand-picked Ms. Rousseff to be his successor, campaigning tirelessly for her.
“He treated this campaign like a re-election campaign,” a sociologist, Demétrio Magnoli, said on television on Sunday night.
Though she could not match Mr. da Silva’s charisma, Ms. Rousseff won Sunday by dominating the north and northeastern parts of the country, as well as the key swing states Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais.
Voters who supported her in São Paulo, where Mr. Serra won, said Sunday that they were willing to look past her lack of experience. “If it were only about experience I would never vote for her,” said Denilson Quintino, 43, an electrician. “But she has a good team behind her. Today the country is much better off because of the Lula government. He did more for me than any other president.”
Mr. Serra, who also ran for president in 2002 and has a long elected political resume, had pledged to focus on improving education and the public health care system. He also indicated he would give private companies a greater role in developing a newly discovered oil region that could transform the country into a global oil power.
Ms. Rousseff promised to build millions of low-income homes, expand a community-policing program pioneered in Rio de Janeiro, and substantially improve the quality of education and public health care. In the final debate between the two candidates on Friday, she called education — an area in which Brazil has lagged many other nations — “the most important issue facing Brazil.”
Despite the strong support of Mr. da Silva, the election went to a second round when Marina Silva, the Green Party candidate and former environmental minister under Mr. da Silva, pulled in 19 percent of the vote. Many voters liked Ms. Silva’s policies on sustainable development and her anti-abortion stance.
Ms. Rousseff struggled with conservative religious voters amid accusations from the opposition that she had flip-flopped on her stance on abortion. And she lost support when her successor as chief of staff was accused of peddling influence with companies seeking contracts and loans with the government and state development bank.
But Mr. Serra struggled to articulate a consistent campaign message and, with Mr. da Silva in her camp, Ms. Rousseff, a twice-divorced grandmother who opposed and was imprisoned by the military dictatorship in her early 20s as part of a militant group, proved too tough to beat.

Eleições 2010: fatos esparsos
Dilma vence e é eleita a 1ª mulher presidente do Brasil
Sarkozy é o primeiro a parabenizar petista, e Chávez dá boas-vindas "ao clube"
Marina recomenda "simplicidade das pombas" e "sagacidade das serpentes"
Mulheres ainda representam menos de 17% dos altos cargos políticos do mundo

A vantagem de Serra em São Paulo...
...foi de cerca de 1,8 milhão de votos sobre Dilma.
Dilma "anulou" essa vantagem em Minas, onde ela perdeu em BH e cidades do Sul de Minas, mas teve vitórias muito expressivas no Triângulo Mineiro e no Norte de Minas(Vale do Jequitinhonha, por exemplo).
A geografia é complexa, mas o Nordeste livrou grande vantagem para a nova Presidenta!
O Rio foi mais Dilma, o Espirito Santo foi Serra por pouquinho.
Na minha cidade de São Paulo a coisa foi: 3,43 milhões para Serra e 2,96 milhões para Dilma. Os votos de Dilma estiveram concentrados nos bairros mais periféricos e Serra voi mais bem votado nos bairros mais centrais.
Aqui onde eu moro (5a Zona, dita "Jardins") por mais que eu me esforçasse, a coisa foi uma surra: 82% pro Serra e 18% prá Dilma (grosso modo).
E viva a Dilma e seus eleitores!
Viva até o Tiririca!
Como disse o Lula hoje: devem dar prova para quem quer "cassar" o Tiririca, pois ele representa agora quase 1,5 milhão se paulistas!
