If frontrunner Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins Brazil’s election it would mark a major comeback for the leftist, signaling that Brazilians care more about jobs and food than battling corruption

Ahead of Sunday’s vote, many poor Brazilians say former president’s support for them is most important, while criticizing his rival President Jair Bolsonaro for how he handled the Covid pandemic

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has promised to boost spending on the poor, is slightly ahead of his rival in recent polls.

Corruption will affect the availability of food and jobs duh

People tend to care about jobs and food, yeah.

Estava dividido sim ou fazia parte de empresas ou grupos ou tava fora ,E pessoas sem diplomas agindo como doutores ,juízes ,investigadores ,um horror tudo com medo escondido,aqui na pandemia tinha festa todo dia agora acabou,o proibido é melhor,

The woke left wants to cancel starving to death

Who edits

Bolsonaro is famously not corrupt 🙄

Are you guys hourly?

What?

whoever wrote this deserves to be fired

Excuse me?

Why you guys avoid using the word CORRUPTED when you talk about former president condemned Luiz Da Silva AKA Lula

Famously non-corrupt, that Bolsonaro.

Classically terrible WSJ take.

Delete yourselves. Facist supporters

wild

Is this an opinion piece or have the Russians hacked your site as well? The process which incarcerated Lula was itself extraordinarily flawed. 5 points if you can tell where the judge who sentenced him ended up? The Mickey Mouse Journal 🐁

wall street journal backing fascism, not surprising whatsoever

Lol is this newspaper even real? Fhell.. disgusting. That must be why NA people is just r3tard3d lol

The editor needs to be sacked for this headline

Who thinks this headline is inacurrate?

Every politician in America is involved in graft and corruption in some form. They write laws or huddle up to protect themselves from any consequence. Trump is/was the best at it and they are all trying to ' One Up' his con.

Brazil’s Presidential Election Will Determine the Planet’s Future.

Love the implication that da Silva means jobs and food. Pom poms down please.

Regardless of who wins, nothing will change until Brazilians have open, free markets, and citizens and small business owners stop getting shaken down at the border with 100%+ import tariffs. The language, the bureaucracy, location, etc., builds a moat around the country.

how long this 'food' and 'job' would last under corruption?

The people are looking to lefties to create jobs? That's rich.

This tweet is too mendacious to have been written by a mere intern

By the way, former president LulaOficial (from ptbrasil) only had his sentencing overturned (on a technicality) — not his actual conviction for corruption…

upside down world over there

Ah yes, Bolsonaro, a real corruption fighter that guy.

Bolsanaro is one of the planet’s most corrupt leaders. He’s encouraged and defended lawless, genocidal violence against indigenous peoples in the Amazon in order to increase profits for his corrupt supporters. You should hang your heads in shame for this take.

Most PT leaders are or have been in jail lately. We must reelect Bolsonaro. Paulo Guedes is doing a great job!!?

The election is corrupt no truth in results

What is this fermented arse-broth you dare to call 'journalism'?

what makes you think Bolsonaro is less corrupt? His corruption is actually visible, has killed thousands of people, and signals willingness to destroy democracy itself if necessary do better

Lazy ass headline. Swing and a miss.

The judge who sent Lula to jail (described as a 'hero' by WSJ) colluded with the prosecutor to do so, which took Lula out of the election, allowing Bolsonaro to win. Then Bolsonaro appointed that judge to his cabinet. Tell me about corruption again?

Foreign people should know more about Brazil. A lot of news is given by left-wing media outlets that put a thief of public coffers and his gang of thieves as god. Bolsonaro represents for the majority of the people the freedom and justice that we so long for! I'm BOLSONARO 22!!!

Quem se preocupa com emprego e comida não vota na esquerda.

Outstanding

Murdoch

Ah, yes - The Wall Street Journal is terrified of alleged left-wing corruption while being quite comfortable with right-wing corruption.

Typical imperialist B.S! Note that US & other International Companies have HUGE stakes in the Amazon & DON'T want to loose profits: Oil, Gold Mines, Mining, Cattle Ranches, Mega-Agribusiness, Dams, Wood, Zoos, PetShops, Aquaria. Bolsonaro = business☝️

Or perhaps Brazil wants to aspire to solve its horrible income inequality problem instead of opting for an extremist like Bolsonoro who’ll make it worse.

Let us be clear. Bolsonaro falsely jailed Lula by greasing a judge. This headline is insane.

Do your homework Wall Street Journal. lula was arrested without proof and proven innocent after a long jail term in a scandalous scheme of corruption to take a preferred presidential candidate out of the race. Get your facts right

Bolsanaro is the corruption.

This is an incredibly misleading and false headline. Even if the WSJ believes Lula guilty of graft, Bolsonaro is no stranger to corruption!

Like Bolsonaro, the wannabe authocrat, is fighting corruption instead of caring for jobs and food? this headline makes no sense, unless you defend sciencedenying authocrats with whatever means are available.

Who votes thinking in jobs and food instead of battling corruption will get corruption and not jobs nor food

“Battling corruption” lol

Really. Basic Human needs triumphing over a military despot and environmental vandal?

Right wing propaganda. Lula's corruption charges were farcical.

Jobs and food? If that was the case, Bolsonaro would be up by doble digits. I’m still baffled about US’s media propping up a corrupt politician.

Bolsonaro is worse on corruption. Is allowing agrobusiness to burn and destroy the Amazon not corruption?

What are the evidences saying that Brazilians don't care about battlng corruption? What about Bolsonaro's family sudden enrichment?

Care more about jobs and food? Make me laugh!... Uneducated people been cheated by the system. That's what it is.

That isn't the issue. LulaOficial is FAR from being perfect, but jairbolsonaro is an embarrassment for us Brazilians. Jair NEEDS to be ousted. Today is the day.

Bolsonaro deu Auxílio Brasil de 600 reais, vai aumentar o salário mínimo para 1400 reais e anistiou a dívida do Fies de milhares de alunos universitários BolsonaroReeleito2️⃣2️⃣

The fight against corruption must necessarily involve a competent judge who does not exchange messages with prosecutors. All of Lula's convictions were extinct and the Federal Supreme Court found him not guilty.

Oh, because voting for jairbolsonaro would definitely signal that Brazilians are more concerned with corruption... Give me a break WSJ. The tweet makes it seem as if one candidate is immaculate and the other is a leftist crook. Do better.

which makes it an evil circle. u can fight jobs and hunger. u cannot fight corruption

Jobs and food!? What do you know about Bolsonaro’s government? He gave us jobs and food

Vai dar LulaOficial com certeza Lula13pelaVidaPeloBrasil Lula13BrasilSemÓdio lula13presidente2022

what a choice uh

If they care more about jobs and food they will not elect Lula, who will implement comunism in Brazil and turn us into a Venezuela look a like, i expected more from you Samantha Pearson, WSJ leans centre, and you write that?

No true... The only region Lula have advantage (the poorest and without information access) is plagued with voter coercion and vote buying from his party after suffering in their hands for more than 20 years... Many don't even know about his crimes, sadly

Some days established criminals are very persuasive.................also Xi is gonna be very happy to have a fanboy in South America........................

Mas que merda! A corrupção está ainda maior,sigilo 100 anos e troca de comandos que tentam investigar crimes cometido broxonazi.

Just this: BOLSONARO WILL WIN !!!!!!

NO Lula Is not the favorite one. This election it’s sold to left side. Brazilians at this moment are fighting hard to not have lula again. Electronic voting machines are not auditable !!!

The Wall Street Journal is a fascist propaganda machine serving the US Kleptocracy, so I'm not surprised they're promoting fascist Bolsonaro. VOTE LULA to return DEMOCRACY to Brazil 🇧🇷 Lula

That you can cast Bolsonaro as less corrupt, and do so with a straight face, just shows what a dish rag your paper has become.

Compared to Brazilians, do Americans care less about jobs and food and more about battling corruption?

Bolsonaro's government has widespread corruption and terrible economic performance. If corruption is a parameter, Bolsonaro also loses. ForaBolsonaro

Bullshit propaganda from the US, Lula is all those things and anti corruption lol.

The rain forest is dying under the massive deforestation happening with Bolsonaro. The effects of losing the Amazon rainforests will be catastrophic to the planet. Brazilians fear a coup to bring back communism under Bolsonaro, who will kill the rain forests.

This article is misleading and completely wrong. People don’t want to vote for Lula but abhors the danger of a fascist in power. These votes are against Bolsonaro, not for Lula.

No we don't he tells people without basic eletricity that the big government is after him and he was framed(which by your title is a lie)

Luiz could lead to more deforestation for farming.

Luiz inácio is corrupt

Quando magoada, nos piores momentos de minha vida, muitos vinheram julgar minhas publicações como discurso de ódio. Tudo que se é falado em língua portuguesa BR muitos julgaram como discurso de ódio. As vezes eram só emoções positivas. Agora, todos estão falando português. 🤔🕊

Lol

Another biased article coming from one of the most corrupt countries in the world!

As they should

wsj both candidates are corrupt. And the non-leftist one is a full fledged fascist like the ones CIA sponsored in the past to torture and kill civilians in bulk.

That ain't no bigger proof that Lula's imprisonment was a political witch hunt than seeing the dude responsible for it side by side with Lula's opponent.

What are you even saying? You're suggesting Brazil be 'corruption free', jobless and hungry instead. lol

Shameful. Unacceptable. I’ll vote against that man and PT, his syndicate of thieves. Bolsonaro is horrible, but a lesser evil. Even as a thief, he is mediocre, while Lula is a master criminal acting with full support of the Supreme Court. That is far worse and more dangerous.

Quem não mora, vem, conhece o Brasil e sua história de fato, não deve falar o que não sabe. Eu te digo, não tem idéia do que falam pq não pensam nas pessoas e sim no 'movimento' em alguns grupos. Todas as vezes em que as trocas de políticas acontecem o Brasil/ os pobres q sofrem.

We do care about jobs, food and battling corruption. The leftist governments of Lula and Dilma promoted a lot of anti-corruption policies, unlike Bolsonaro, who only acts to prevent investigations and to protect evaders, land grabbers, loggers and other criminals.

I'm Brazilian and I can say- you guys are wrong! in the era of the leftist, unemployment was much higher, and detail- there was no pandemic or war in ukraine. PT was an economic disaster because of its immense corruption.

The problem is that those two things go hand in hand If they fix the corruption it will help fix the food and jobs

Americans helped to frame him for corruption, and American media continue to smear him for their unravelled hit job. Americans, get off your moral high horses & quit the BS, please.

Huge BS there

Show me where leftists in the Americas have historically created permanent jobs and prosperity but keep up that framing….

That is true, many of us brazilians will vote on LULA and we aren't 'uneducated ' people. We will vote for the Amazon defense.

That is why Brazil is a poor, uneducated and violent country.

Interesting because leftist do none of those.

Já presenciei desinformação, jornalistas que criam matérias sob coleira partidária, mas vcs do conseguiram trofel de autoridade da mídia que defende e autêntica a MENTIRA, CORRUPÇÃO E DESGRAÇA DE UMA NAÇÃO, a esquerda socialista'moderada' admiradora de FIDEL. jairbolsonaro

Along with Venezuela's Chavez and Argentina's Kirchner the most notorius looters and corrupt politicians that stole billions from public funds 🤑 All that money laundered in corrupt 'first world' banks Latín América seen just as a piñata where thieves worldwide can take it all.

We know how leftist government works for our latin People. Loook for Argentina, Cuba, Venezuela and Chile right now. All the media companies prefer Lula because they lost billions paid by him with public companies propaganda, something that jairbolsonaro blocked. filgmartin

Brazilians don’t care about corruption. They care about tribal behavior.

Just a bad article that shows the WSJ knows nothing about Brazil

We know this newspaper's interest in manipulating information. whoever is in Brazil knows what it's like to have a totally corrupt socialist government.

Far left propaganda . Brazilans care about their own Country first. Corruption could pave the way to Brazil coldest days ever. There aren't jobs, food or whatever if corruption won't disappear forever. You know. Leftists would lead Brazil close to the verge. Thank you.

Lula não volta não, os brasileiros acordaram não querem um corrupto na Presidência da república, não somos idiotas em acreditar que lula não roubara o nosso país outra vez. jairbolsonaro 22 de novo pra presidência do Brasil esse sim, tem compromisso com a nação brasileira.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Lula only wins in the poorest, humblest strata of the population with less access to education. Unfortunately they are the majority and easily deceived by him, led to the perpetuation of poverty, just like Cuba and Venezuela. It's not about jobs, food vs battling corruption.

Não é verdade. O governo atual atrapalha investigações e vivemos sob o orçamento secreto, um dos maiores escândalos de corrupção da história do nosso país.

As a Brazilian I'm sure you don't understand what's really at stake in this election.

🤮🤮

And they will get neither. That’s how socialism works.

“Care more about jobs and food than battling corruption” what kind of line is that?

Borrachín y corrupto

thats not true... jobs its in an all time high in Brazil.. lula corruption is totally rejected by the people. the comunist street journal is full of fake news about everything... imagine about Brazil!

Lol his conviction was overturned because the judge was helping the prosecution fabricate evidence with the help of the US DOJ! Love how western press can just lie about everything.

Negative!! Your statement is wrong. 1st Lula is not the favorite, polls point to Bolsonaro with 53%... 2nd, if Lula wins, it will be a setback in all areas of the Brazilian economy. No jobs and the return of corruption endorsed by the sTF

Why isn't facebook doing more to combat disinformation? Because they profit from it. Disgusting.
