Veja reopens fear campaign against Lula.
In light of the IBPPE poll showing former president Lula with 35% and congressman Jair Bolsonaro with 15%, while the forces aligned with the 2016 coup remain unable to produce a competitive candidate, Veja magazine reopened its fear campaign this week. Essentially, the cover portrays Lula and Bolsonaro as extremists and calls for a centrist candidate. Veja, however, forgets that Lula, who was president for eight years and left office with an 87% approval rating, breaking a world record, represents the true center of national politics. This is precisely why he is growing, rebuilding alliances, and consolidating himself as the favorite to restore to Brazil the democracy that was stolen by the coup.
247 - Less than a year before the presidential elections, Veja magazine, published by Editora Abril, reopened its fear campaign against Lula, in the style of Regina Duarte.
In light of the IBPPE poll showing former president Lula with 35% and congressman Jair Bolsonaro with 15%, while the forces aligned with the 2016 coup remain unable to produce a competitive candidate, Veja magazine portrays Lula and Bolsonaro as extremists and calls for a centrist candidate.
Bolsonaro is, in fact, an extremist and is the result of the hate campaign planted by the PSDB and media outlets like Veja against Lula.
Lula, however, was president for eight years, left office with an 87% approval rating, breaking a world record, and is the one who represents the true center of national politics.
"The experience of his eight years in government proves that he always acted as a factor in containing friction between social classes and promoted a cycle of development in which everyone progressed. Both rich and poor, although the latter have greater gratitude and also a better understanding of the failure of the Brazilian political system and the importance of Lula in leading the country to a new cycle of peace and progress," says journalist Leonardo Attuch in the article. Brazil is heading towards a political impasse..
That is precisely why he is growing, rebuilding alliances, and consolidating himself as the favorite to return to Brazil the democracy that was stolen by the coup.
