Who's Lula da Silva? Its beginnings, controversy and political trajectory

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva seeks re-election in one of the most difficult elections in recent years. Born in a humble family, he worked as a mechanical tornado before becoming an influential union leader during the military dictatorship. After several attempts, he arrived in the Presidency in 2002 and was re-elected in 2006. Convicted for corruption in 2017, he spent 580 days in prison, although the sentences were annulled in 2021. Lula returned to politics, defeated Jair Bolsonaro in 2022 and returned to power. Now he's looking for a new mandate in what might be his last big electoral challenge.
