A ‘Lula Army’ Organizes on Social Media Days Before Brazil’s Runoff

Four days before the second round of Brazil’s presidential election, President Lula has narrowed the gap with his far-right opponent Flavio Bolsonaro, according to RFI.

Having finished second on the night of the first round, Lula has managed to catch up in voting intentions by mobilizing support both on the streets and across social media platforms. This momentum has been described as a “Lula army” by Erika Campelo, secretary general of the association Autres Brésils and an international guest on RFI.

This mobilization could play a decisive role in the vote scheduled for next Sunday, although the outcome remains uncertain.
