Brazil's Lula hints at return to politics, blasts Bolsonaro on COVID-19, economy
The Hindu
Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva set the stage on Wednesday for a likely 2022 presidential run, using his first speech since his graft convictions were annulled to blast President Jair Bolsonaro’s handling of the pandemic and economy.
Lula, whose corruption convictions were overturned by a Supreme Court justice on Monday allowing him to return to political office, said he had not decided whether to run in next years election. But his attacks on Bolsonaro, and the format of the event, had the clear feel of a campaign launch.
