Fresh off a historic re-election victory, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva marked his 81st birthday on Tuesday, celebrating with a few dozen supporters outside the presidential residence in Brasilia.
Lula, who secured a unprecedented fourth term after a hard-fought second-round vote, greeted well-wishers and expressed gratitude for his continuous political journey.
