BRAZIL: Campaign turns violent under Lula's gaze
Brazil's presidential campaign turned violent last week, with
militants of the ruling Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) clashing with activists
of the main opposition Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (PSDB) on the
streets of Rio de Janeiro. President Lula da Silva failed to condemn the
violence and instead chose to adopt a confrontational discourse against the
opposition to promote the interests of his party.
