This is what happened in Brazil yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Many media outlets will now continue to do the same thing they have been doing for a long time: whitewash Lula da Silva. It is not the case of Counting Stars. <strong>Here we are going to see what other media are silent, specifically Lula's anti-democratic friendships<\/strong> and who wins with her return to power:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2009, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoy.es\/20091124\/internacional\/lula-apoya-plan-atomico-20091124.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lula showed his support for the Islamic dictatorship of Iran<\/a>. During the previous term of the Brazilian ultra-left politician, relations between Brazil and Iran were strengthened. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hispantv.com\/tag\/luiz-inacio-lula-da-silva\/23394\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The official Iranian media outlet HispanTV has openly supported Lula <\/a>, with the hope of regaining Brazil as an ally.

The candidate of the Brazilian far-left is the great supporter of the Palestinians in his country. In 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/spanish.almanar.com.lb\/526319\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the terrorist group Hamas expressed its hope that Lula would return to power<\/a> : <em>\"we are very grateful for the Brazilian support over the years and for the years of history of our people.
