Orofino and Walton question, in this sense: “If Brazilians choose to destroy life on Earth, isn’t it a sovereign country? Well, that’s what Bolsonaro argues, and he’s widely popular for it.”

They also list Lula’s history, adding that it ended in a “corruption scandal, sending Lula to jail for years” (sic), without mentioning why he left.
