El gobierno de Lula en busca de un rumbo

Abstract

Lula’s government has just completed a third of its term in office and is now undergoing a spell of crisis and aimlessness. Popularity rates are falling, the economy remains in the doldrums and irresolution seems to be the main feature of the current administration. Lula came to power leading a party whose performance was always marked by staunchness in oppo¬sition and the preaching of immaculate public morals. Despite all this, the government lacks cla¬rity concerning the shaping of a state building project extending beyond self righteousness and antagonism.
