Which Lula da Silva will President António José Seguro and Prime Minister Luís Montenegro meet this Tuesday? On one hand, a Brazilian head of state confident in his role after four years in office; on the other, a candidate for re-election this October who is fragile and vulnerable. Recent polls show him in a technical tie or slight disadvantage against his main rival, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. Lula has lost a 10-point lead since December due to a combination of factors, including economic perception, scandals involving a bank and social security, and potential shifts in the electorate similar to recent Chilean elections. Both candidates are preparing for a contentious campaign, with Flávio Bolsonaro facing investigations and Lula focusing on foreign policy and the need for UN reform during his meetings in Portugal.
