Has Lula called the elections rigged?
“Trump of the tropics” in more ways than one. The more concerning thing is that Brazil only has had democracy back since 1985. A military coup is not unthinkable there, nor is right-wing terrorism. >

I don't think we should associate the actions of a small group with the will of the president himself. He may be planning a coup, idk. But we cannot presume that he is behind the group that was arrested
Edit: nice to see how people (presumably left-wingers) react to a neutral comment, downvoting just because it is not what they want to hear lol >

True that he may not be behind that group. However, his rhetoric is the direct cause of their actions just as Trump’s words were the direct cause of the 1/6 attacks. >

Yea sure, but still an arbitrary relation to these ones that were arrested. In another world we could associate the extremists left-wingers with the will of Lula, which is simply not reasonable.
Lula himself said that the extremists are a small group that should be disconsidered in his campaign
