Lula. A former union worker elected president of Brazil in 2002. A militant progressive who has embarked on a program of social reforms as radical as they are ambitious.

In 2003, Lula received 50 million votes. According to post-election polls, the president and his team had approval ratings of 80%. Today th,e government's popularity has plummeted to 54%, and that of the president is now only 60%.

Nearly two years after his election confidence in Luis Inacio da Silva is being questioned. What makes matters worse is that this is happening at the grassroot level, by the voters who elected him. They are letting nothing slip by, which adds even more obstacles to Lula's already complicated efforts to act on and carry out reforms.
How will Lula manage to reconcile his desire for deep reform, for which he was elected, without alienating "the North", which he so badly needs?

Between wanting to act and being able to act the margin of error is slim. LULA'S BRAZIL proposes to evaluate and shed light on this margin.
