Since the coup in Brazil removed president Dilma Rousseff last year without a single vote from the Brazilian public, ending 14 years of Workers’ Party government in Brazil, former president Lula da Silva has again been at the forefront of the political scene.
Already a popular figure due to two hugely successful terms in office (president Barack Obama termed him the “most popular politician on Earth” in 2009), Lula has been a key figure in the mass rallies against President Michel Temer who replaced Rousseff.
Since taking office, Temer has overseen a sharp rightward turn for the country, implementing harsh austerity measures without electoral backing.
