President

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made his first public appearance in an Instagram video after being hospitalized earlier this week. The video shows him walking, signaling a step forward in his recovery.

At 79, Lula faced a health scare that required two surgeries to relieve and prevent cranial bleeding. These issues arose from a fall at his home in late October.

The incident has stirred political discourse, as analysts speculate about the impact on his party's future leadership plans should his health impede a 2026 run. Despite fears, his spokesman dismissed concerns over his re-election ambitions.
