In 2002, on its fourth try, Lula was elected president. In part his victory was derived from the considerable unpopularity of Cardoso's second term, which failed to decrease the economic inequality, and in part from a softening of his and the party's anti-neoliberal stance, including a vice-presidential candidate from the right-wing Liberal Party, acceptance of an International Monetary FundIMF accord agreed to by the previous government and a line of discourse friendly to the markets.
Despite some achievements on solving part of the country's biggest problems, his term was plagued by multiple corruption scandals that stormed his cabinet, forcing most of its key members to resign their posts. Leaving many doubts about his and his party's political future.
In 2006 Lula regained part of his lost popularity and ran for re-election. After almost winning on the first round, he won the run-off against Geraldo Alckmin from PSDB, by a 20 million votes margin.

Why do you think the Brazilian government exploits the people? I think the people should be more interested in the national questions like politic, economy and others.
