Lula Leads Big Rio Parade Before Brazil Chooses President

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva led a 'victory march' — a large street parade of supporters — through central Rio de Janeiro on 2 October, two days before Brazil's 4 October vote for president. He said it was not about one man winning, but about democracy, or rule by voters: 'Either we consolidate democracy, or we will lose it.'
