Brazil's former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva speaks during a rally as he starts his campaign as a presidential candidate in the national elections, at a car factory in Sao Bernardo do Campo, Brazil, August 16 2022. Picture: REUTERS/CARLA CARNIELFar-right President Jair Bolsonaro and his leftist front-running challenger Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva formally launched their campaigns on Tuesday for Brazil’s most polarised elections in decades in October.
In a video posted on social media early on Tuesday, Lula said hunger had returned to Brazil under Bolsonaro and inflation was hitting families who cannot survive on minimum wages. A Monday survey by researcher IPEC, formerly known as IBOPE, showed Lula with 44% of voter support against 32% for Bolsonaro in the first round where they are far ahead of 10 other candidates. In a run-off, Lula would get elected by 51% of the votes versus 35% for Bolsonaro, a 16-point gap.
