Exclusive: Bolsonaro is turning back the clock on Brazil, says Lula da Silva
The former union leader and two-term president said his mission now was to “battle for democracy”
Brazil’s former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has vowed to spearhead opposition to the country’s far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro, warning that his country is backsliding on years of hard fought progress.
“Bolsonaro has already made clear what he wants for Brazil: he wants to destroy all of the democratic and social conquests from the last decades,” he told the Guardian.
