# Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva says his country will not allow domestic or foreign actors to interfere with what he describes as the people’s democratic choice. This comes amid growing allegations of foreign interference in Brazil’s October elections, in which Lula da Silva is seeking a fourth, non-consecutive presidential term. Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, the Brazilian leader also stated that more effective diplomacy is the only way for collective challenges, including conflicts, to be successfully addressed.
