No idea if he can, last?
Lula to be sworn in as Brazil president as Bolsonaro flies to USA [Crowds of people have gathered in the Brazilian capital, Brasilia, for the inauguration of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as president. The veteran left-wing politician, known widely as Lula, also led the country between 2003 and 2010 - and defeated Jair Bolsonaro in October's poll. There is tight security for Sunday's ceremony amid fears that Bolsonaro supporters may try to disrupt it. Mr Bolsonaro himself will not attend, having left Brazil on Friday. A sea of Lula supporters gathered in front of Congress since early in the morning - decked out in the red colour of his Workers' Party. They travelled to see their leader sworn in - but also for a celebration.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-64138739 |

Thanks to these claims by the media. Lula and the left are the good guys who everyone should support and Bolsonaro and the right are the baddies who everyone should detest.
The media has already made your minds up for you. And nothing has even happened yet. Ever get the feeling you're being cheated? Last edited by Alf; 01-01-2023 at 07:26 PM. |
