Lula believes Bolsonaro’s conspiracy theories, already discussed by Electoral Justice and the press, are fictitious to foreign representatives. The former president, who has experience in foreign policy, described the action at Palácio da Alvorada as shooting in the foot. Bolsonaro, who has a bad image on the international stage, may make the situation worse by emulating Donald Trump’s failed strategy in 2020, when the US president is defeated by Joe Biden.

Domestically, the electoral impact would give more force to the PT’s rhetoric that it would be better to settle the bill in the first round, preventing a one-on-one deal in the second phase when Bolsonaro could raise the budget. The threat of a coup increased.
The reaction, albeit timid, by TSE (Supreme Electoral Court) chairman and Senate chairman Rodrigo Pacheco helps to stigmatize Bolsonaro’s speech as it is: a swindler and a liar. According to Lula, this leads conservative figures from the MDB, PSD and civil society to want to beat Bolsonaro in the first round.
