125 Million People voted today in the first round of Brazil’s Presidential Election. The results came out shortly after the vote closed, on the SAME DAY!

In Detroit, Philadelphia, California, and numerous other U.S. Cities and States, the results, with much smaller numbers, will often take weeks to Rig, I mean, calculate.

Voting in America is CORRUPT!!!

Do you know why winning in the first round never worked out?

Because the people like seeing me fight the second round — and I’m very good in the knockout stage.

Today’s election showed the following: the game is being played.

There was a first stage, and I want to tell you that we are going to win this election.

This country was historically designed to be governed for 35% of the population. Nobody ever thought about governing this country for 100% of the population.

When we think about governing for 100%, we have to include the people from the periphery. We have to think about how to create opportunities for poor children to study at university, and how to give people the opportunity to succeed in life.

We were never forgiven for the quotas. We were never forgiven for bringing people from the periphery into university. We were never forgiven for making it possible to finance very poor people so they could attend university.

I’m very happy, truly, with the result we are seeing here now. Almost 56 million Brazilian men and women gave this vote of confidence for change.

The word is change. Brazil can’t take it anymore.

We will examine the fundamental approach to accepting foreign nationals. Labor shortages are the greatest challenge facing a society with a declining population.

We must reverse the trend of the declining birthrate while at the same time building a new form of the nation adapted to a society with a shrinking population.

We will formulate a comprehensive population strategy by the end of the year, present future simulations of population trends and an overall picture of the measures required.

The Northern Territories are inherently Japanese territory, both historically and under international law.

Relations with Russia, which continues its invasion of Ukraine, are in a difficult situation.

Nevertheless, we will maintain the government’s policy of resolving the territorial issue and concluding a peace treaty.

When Israel recognized Somaliland, they said other countries would follow.

Until today, not a single other country has followed, because what Israel is doing is wrong.

Even the local Somali population in Somaliland itself completely opposes Israel.

Somalis, whether in Somaliland or any other part of Somalia, will never accept Israel.

I am completely certain that one day Israel will pack its bags and return to where it came from.

What distinguishes Türkiye’s relationship with Somalia is what happened when Somalia was completely isolated.

At that critical moment, Erdogan, who was Türkiye’s prime minister at the time, came to Somalia. He did not come alone — he came with his family, his government, most of his ministers and a large part of the Turkish parliament.

He did not simply come to the airport and leave. He went to displaced-person camps and aid distribution sites. His wife and daughters were with him. He got out of his car and spoke to children in the street.

He asked one child: "Why aren’t you at school?" The child said: "We don’t have a school." He asked: "Where are your parents?" The child said: "My mother is sick in bed." He asked: "Why don’t you take her to a hospital?" The child said: "There is no hospital."

From that moment, they began building hospitals and schools. They brought the world’s attention back to Somalia.

Nobody wanted to invest in Somalia because it was considered too risky. But Türkiye came and invested in Mogadishu airport, Mogadishu port, and now, for the first time in our history, in oil and gas.
