”Brazilian ex-head of state Lula da Silva agreed on Thursday to represent the opposition Workers’ Party (PT) in this year’s presidential election, although a corruption conviction makes it unclear whether he will be able to run.”

Absolutely hilarious....Lula announced his candidacy soon after his post Dilma was impeached....after all, it the only way to try to keep himself out of prison.

The rhetoric of 'some' of the other potential presidential candidates, that they would rather run against the 'toad' than see him in prison, is just “small talk for the bull to go to sleep”......deep down they are all hoping he's put behind bars.

“By casting Lula as the mastermind of an age-old system of kickbacks, Dallagnol (lead prosecutor on the federal investigation) implied that removing him from public life would put an end to that system. This idea ran up against Dallagnol’s own declared belief that corruption in Brazil reached far beyond the former president and his once-upstanding Workers’ Party, infecting the entire ideological spectrum of a self-dealing political class. And so in a fight where public opinion was key to its success, Carwash undermined its own basic premise for existing.”
