Lula arranca la campaña para conquistar un cuarto mandato: “No voy a permitir que la derecha regrese al poder”

Veteran Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the president of Brazil, returned to the stadium where he led massive worker strikes during Brazil's dictatorship in the 1970s on Sunday to launch his seventh electoral campaign aiming for a fourth term. Thousands of people filled the Vila Euclides stadium in São Bernardo do Campo, part of São Paulo's industrial belt, marking the official start of a fiercely contested race.

Lula questioned why people asked him for a fourth mandate, stating his commitment not to let the right, responsible for 400 deaths from COVID-19 due to negligence, return to power. "What future do you want for Brazilians if you don't invest in education, health, and employment?" he asked in his unpretentious speech, filled with the familiar cascading voice and references to his mother and early days as a political leader.
