BRAZIL: Debating Lula's social achievements
The strength of the domestic economy is the government's trump card
as it heads into the 2010 election campaign. President Lula da Silva's official
candidate to succeed him, Dilma Rousseff, promises close continuity with his two
successful administrations. While the government proudly touts the fact that
Brazil is set to become the world's fifth largest economy by the time of the
2016 summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, there is still plenty of work pending
for whoever wins October's election.
