“Well, Lula has an incredible amount of sway still. He's someone who came up from very humble origins, so his life trajectory is something that many people in Brazil still identify with. So within the governing Workers' Party, he has a lot of power. He has power to name ministers, some people say. And he's very close with the current president as well. She's his handpicked successor.” PeopleWellsStillsNamesPresidentPartyAmountWorkersIncrediblesCurrentsHumbleMinistersGoverningBrazilSuccessorsTrajectory Author:Simon Romero
“We saw groups of people gathering in front of Lula's house in Sao Paulo this morning. You had people shouting at one another, and some fistfights even broke out. Some of his supporters are claiming that this is equivalent of a coup attempt, an attempt to remove Rousseff from power and prevent Lula from running again. And other people are saying that this is simply a display of rule of law in Brazil, that no one in Brazil can be above the law at this time.” PeopleRunningLawHouseMorningSawsGroupsFrontsBrokeRemoveDisplaySupporterGatheringRule Of LawShoutingBrazilCoupsAbove The LawSao Paulo Author:Simon Romero
