Lula vs Bolsonaro: Countdown to Brazil’s elections – Everything Law and Order Blog

Tensions have been building for months as Brazil heads for an electoral showdown that will have major implications for the country and for the world. Leftist national hero and former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is currently leading in the polls in the race to unseat current far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, but the outcome is all but assured, and fears are mounting that the dark, increasingly fascistic forces Bolsonaro has unleashed in recent years will take extreme January 6-style measures to retain power if Lula wins the presidential election in October. Brazil’s national elections will take place on Oct. 2, 2022. If either candidate secures over 50% of the popular vote on Oct. 2, they will be declared the winner. However, if neither candidate crosses the 50% threshold, a second round of elections will be held at the end of October.

The essential context for Brazil’s contemporary political scene has been covered extensively by the The Real News through the limited podcast series Brazil on Fire, hosted by journalist Michael Fox and co-produced by NACLA. For a special look at Brazil’s landscape ahead of Sunday’s elections, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez sits down with Michael Fox for a final look at this pivotal moment in Brazil’s history, and what’s at stake for the wider world.

  1. Lula is the greatest Brazilian shame. He was and continues to be convicted in three instances for the greatest corruption in the history of Brazil. He was convicted in three instances by several judges. he served a year and a half in prison and was released by the shameful minister of the supreme court Luiz Fachin to run for president of the republic. Lula said he will protect cell phone thieves, as they steal and kill to earn "a little money… Lula is fully aligned with dictatorships and promised to persecute Catholic priests and pastors. Almost all of his ministers at the time were also arrested, in addition to having been cited by Mara Gabrilli as the mastermind behind the murder of the mayor of Santo André, Celso Daniel, in 2002. Many businessmen involved returned billions of reais to the police. half dollars. The Brazilian Supreme Court is directly supporting this criminal candidate. In a serious and respectful country, Lula and his gang would have been sentenced to death.

  2. The election in Brazil is like that movie "Alien (Bolsonaro) vs Predator (Lula). Both options are appalling, but they were chosen by the Brazilian people. Don't forget that. The Brazilian people is responsible for their own demise.

  3. Queer is a slur. The 'sterilize the gay away' gender eugenics movement is also fascism. They want to redefine 'homoSEXuality' in LAW to mean same-gender-identity-attraction instead of same-SEX attraction. They want to redefine women in LAW as a "gender identity," the performance of a gender role men have violently forced us to play for their sexual entertainment, instead of whole human beings with both bodies and minds. Our human rights are explicitly worded as being ON THE BASIS OF SEX. Undoing this could bring women's rights so far back that we lose the right to vote. LGB rights are also based on SEX, as we are discriminated on based on the sex of our partners as it relates to ours. This also removes all gay rights in law. They're coming for us on both sides. The (far-right) "left" is no better. In fact, they're a lot worse.

  4. The rise of the right throughout the world is a direct result of the left failing the common people – either through excessive corruption or excessive focus on woke issues while allying with corporate neolibs

  5. These guys tossing around the word "fascist" and "far right" willy-nilly has the ring of the fable about the boy who cried wolf. It's really wearing thin, lacking any sense of intellectual rigor. Anyone who holds an opinion that does not agree with their ideology is far right or fascist. Hey, these guys can't even come up with an original title for their series; Didn't Oliver Stone produce a film called "Ukraine on Fire?" File this under petulant propaganda; TRUMP DERANGEMENT IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THESE DUDES WORLD.

  6. From Brazil I tell you First hand: Lula has already won, because he Control suprem court wich has secretly "counting" votes whithout any external Control for transparency, even after months of tries. Bolsonaro has saved our economy under strong atacks of media and the suprem court during de cOv1d. Times of lies. Lulas is a dangerous criminals as you are going to see in a few years, If you not follow just one side of the news.

  7. This guy needs to do a better job before talking so much shit here. Luladrao is a thief that was suspiciously released by our love Supreme Court and cleared of all charges suspiciously as well to run for president again, I guess the media are the same all over the world. Feels like Trump and Biden. Biden is useless shouldn't never won

  8. His smart then Trump , he show to world he got most the voters , here in Brazil to take election has to be better chiefs , remember in Brazil no body vote in post office

  9. The comparisons and parallels between what is happening in the US and Brazil are real, and are the same as we see going on in Italy, Hungary, Turkey and many other countries around the globe. The global suffering belched out by global corporate neocon economic system is creating a world fascist movement. As liberal/left politics have become preoccupied with culture correctness, it has ignored the real suffering of workers and a stressed middle class and offered no real solutions or support. The fascists are filling a political vacuum

  10. please no more of the us puppet bolsonaro. no more fascistic military dictatorship, corrupt nepotism,, and no more destruction of the environment to corporations. brazilians will vote for lula. lots of israeli trolls against lula bec they know the puppet bolsonaro will deliver brazil to apartheid terrorist israels if he wins.

  11. Funny title since Bolsonaro was democratically elected into office while Lula not only openly supported dictatorships both vocally and financially with "his" citizens' money but was incarcerated for the unlawful appropriation of said money…

  12. Funny how all countries, down play their part in the slave trade,which is still well,and vibrant industry, yet n o political policy is responsible for this kind of human trafficking abuse. This is bigger problem than anything else facing a free world.
