Will Brazil's former president Lula da Silva make a comeback? | Inside Story
He was a popular leftist leader and president in Brazil...but with a criminal record. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was convicted in a corruption and bribery scandal in 2017. But a judge has found the court that sentenced him lacked the necessary jurisdiction. The conviction has been annulled and the left-wing politician can now bid for the presidency again next year. If he decides to run, his main rival would be far-right President Jair Bolsonaro. So, What could that mean for Brazil's polarised politics?
