BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazil’s former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who is polling ahead of incumbent far-right President Jair Bolsonaro for the country’s October election, said on Thursday he would promote a tax reform in which “who earns more, pays more” if elected.
He also mentioned in a speech that his administration was known for meeting inflation goals, at a moment when high consumer prices affect Bolsonaro’s popularity. Leftist Lula was in power from 2003 to 2010.
