BRAZIL: Still lukewarm on Lula ahead of elections
Brazil is deeply divided over former president Lula da Silva (2003-2011) from the leftist Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) party. Remembered for his progressive social welfare policies, Lula retains significant popularity and cannot be discounted if he runs in the 2018 presidential election. But more than half of Brazilians want him locked up in jail, according to a recent poll by Datafolha.
