Last September, Brazil’s supreme court convicted former president Jair Bolsonaro for his failed coup attempt, setting the stage for a period of potential political stability. With far-right leader behind bars, current president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has enjoyed three years in power. At 80 years old, Lula seems poised for a fourth term win. However, a key challenger, Tarcísio de Freitas, backed out, underscoring Lula’s position as favorite. Brazil’s upcoming election is crucial for the region, where the left faces a chance after recent losses to the right. Despite Lula’s strong position, Bolsonaro’s family remains active, with Senator Flávio Bolsonaro launching a presidential campaign. Corruption scandals continue to plague Brazil, with a recent financial scandal implicating top officials and institutions. The supreme court, once lauded for its actions against Bolsonaro, now faces scrutiny for potential corruption issues.
