Most of the world is rightly celebrating alongside the majority of Brazilians, but the world should know more about how this democracy was lost so that it never happens again.
The Brazilian people have voted a monster out of the presidency, and now have a chance to restore the democracy that they had lost. Bolsonaro mismanaged the pandemic, spreading massive COVID misinformation that contributed to Brazil’s death toll of more than 600,000 people. Deforestation of the Amazon accelerated: the amount deforested in 2021 was over 70 percent more than when he took office in 2018.
Most of the world is rightly celebrating alongside the majority of Brazilians. But the world should know more about how this democracy was lost, and about some of the most powerful actors and events that contributed to this loss, so that it does not repeat itself. The evidence for Lula’s conviction rested on testimony from one executive of a construction company, who had been convicted in a corruption scandal and had his prison sentence reduced in exchange for testimony. Indeed, this newspaper reported that the executive was prevented from plea bargaining until he changed his testimony to implicate Lula in an alleged crime.
