Lula won the 2022 presidential election, defeating incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in a close runoff.
He was inaugurated for his third term as President on January 1, 2023.
Lula's presidency focuses on social welfare, environmental protection, and repositioning Brazil on the global stage. His return to power marks a significant shift in Brazilian politics after years of conservative rule.
"Lula's presidency focuses on social welfare, environmental protection"
These two statements are correct in speech but wrong in practice. Lula is uncontrollably raising taxes on the poorest and cutting funds to combat deforestation.
Between January 1 and August 23, the country recorded more than 102,670 fire outbreaks. This is the highest number recorded in the same period in the last 14 years. Fourteen years ago, Lula was also president and 114,265 fire outbreaks were recorded.
