Lula Fights Back

Lula is fighting back by raising his profile and getting closer to the electorate. His bi-weekly radio program “Café con o Presidente” is now to be broadcast weekly. The intention is to open direct communications channels with his people.

Lula dedicated the last "Café con o Presidente" episode to the Brazilian economy and sounded both bullish and secure. This more aggressive tone may help him survive the PT corruption allegations. Brazil, like the rest of Latin America, has a short memory.
