The left-wing Workers’ Party of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the former president who’s now in prison, has a chance of reaching the runoff phase of Brazil’s hotly contested election, current president Michel Temer said.
Domestic politics are divided into extremes that include a right-wing conservative appealing to much of society and the left-wing Workers’ Party potential return to power, Temer said Monday in an interview at Bloomberg’s headquarters in New York City. That division isn’t necessarily negative, Temer said, as it makes it easier for voters to make up their mind.
