"Teflon President"

Just two weeks ahead of presidential elections, scandal has once more enveloped Brazilian politics. Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, dubbed the “Teflon president” has been accused of dubious campaign tactics against nearest rival, former São Paulo governor Geraldo Alckmin. Lula has denied all accusations and points to his impressive lead in the polls as his defense. A recent poll showed Lula’s support on 50% ahead of Alckmin on 29%. Although analysts don’t believe the most recent scandal will stop Lula being reelected on October 1, they say it may cause him problems further down the line passing reform through Congress.
