Well my understanding is that no one is doing much for the favelas. Not even Lula in his first term did much for them. And he’s capable of much less now with the endemic Brazilian right wing funded and supported by the wealthy in my country. But that’s about as bad as I’ve seen. So yeah I really don’t understand the characterization or lumping him with the others. Their legislature there is chock full of bolansario allies. Who are Express enemies of Lula, and the rest of the legislature aren’t really allies either.

I suspect the characterization may have to do with the more radical-minded. If he’s not fomenting revolution somehow. He’s an evil failure?
