Summary
Lula founded, in 1980, the PT, and entered public life as leader of a metallurgical union in São Paulo, having led historical strikes of workers of the country in the 1970s, being arrested by the military regime. Since the third term, in 2023, Lula has been critical of the PT itself and the Brazilian left, as he understands that right and conservative groups have approached Brazilian society more effectively in the last decade. At the age of 80, Lula da Silva competes for a fourth term, having as main opponent in the polls the senator and candidate of the Liberal Party (PL) 45-year-old Flavio Bolsonaro, eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Furthermore, Lula has said he intends to defeat Flávio even in the first round, although the polls point out that this should happen in the second round, a difference of votes that reflects the polarization of the country. However, the popularity polls of the Brazilian President conducted by research institutes or by the Brazilian Government itself reveal Lula's difficulty in converting the achievements of the PT Governments into popularity.
