Kotscho: With Lula's support, Haddad has already reached 15% in the XP/Ipespe poll.
"Convicting and imprisoning Lula may not achieve the coup plotters' goal of preventing the PT from reaching the presidency for the fifth consecutive time," says journalist Ricardo Kotscho.
247 "Convicting and imprisoning Lula may not achieve the coup plotters' objective of preventing the PT from reaching the presidency for the fifth consecutive time," says journalist Ricardo Kotscho, reinforcing that, "according to the new XP/Ipespe poll, in which Fernando Haddad reaches 15% and is technically tied with Jair Bolsonaro, who has 21%, within the margin of error of three points, in both the first and second rounds, all the efforts of the Lava Jato-Media-Market scheme may have been in vain."
"For those who don't know, XP Investimentos, which funds the research, has no connection whatsoever with the PT (Workers' Party). On the contrary, 49% of the company's shares were recently acquired by Banco Itaú. When his name appears on the list, former president Lula continues to lead by a wide margin, reaching 31%, his highest percentage in the historical series that began in May. That's why the Attorney General of the Republic, Raquel Dodge, the beautiful one, and Minister Luiz Roberto Barroso, the candid one, are in a hurry to challenge Lula's candidacy," he adds.
But it may not make any difference, says the journalist. "Without Lula, but with his support, Fernando Haddad is gaining ground as the main opponent of Captain Jair Bolsonaro, one of the candidates backed by the financial market."
