PRESIDENTIAL elections due in October in Brazil have the potential to not only transform that country, but also the whole of Latin America, and indeed the world.
As part of the build-up to those vital elections, the former president, historic leader of the Workers’ Party (PT) and candidate for the Together for Brazil coalition, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, is fronting up massive rallies and other campaign events, whose central themes are the defence of democracy and the fight against hunger.
I met Lula during his previous time as Brazil’s president when I was mayor of London, and his anti-poverty programmes plus support for a Latin America free from US-domination made him in the words of US president Barack Obama the most popular politician in the world.
