Lula's Legacy Is Tainted in the Eyes of Many Brazilians

Lula supporters of course are totally jubilant. They said that they really saw through these efforts, they believed it was just because of the election that Bolsonaro was spending money on poor people. Lula couldn't contest the last election in 2018 because he had been convicted of corruption following the Lavagato or car rush scandal. His convictions ended up being annulled by the Supreme Court in 2021 and he got out of jail in 2019.
