For months, Bolsonaro had sown doubts about the reliability of Brazil\u2019s electronic vote and his loyal supporters were loath to accept the loss.<\/p>\n<p>Many have gathered outside military barracks since, questioning results and pleading with the armed forces to prevent Lula from taking office.<\/p>\n<p>His most die-hard backers resorted to what some authorities and incoming members of Lula\u2019s administration labeled acts of \u201cterrorism\u201d \u2013 something the country had not seen since the early 1980s, and which have prompted growing security concerns about inauguration day events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2003, the ceremony was very beautiful.

But he will have to do so while navigating more challenging economic conditions than he enjoyed in his first two terms, when the global commodities boom proved a windfall for Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, his administration&#8217;s flagship welfare program helped lift tens of millions of impoverished people <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/5c74f94eadaf47c28995416d5e9fae85\" data-ylk=\"slk:into the middle class\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">into the middle class<\/a>.

The lifelong Lula supporter attended his 2003 inauguration, and agreed that this time feels different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack then, he could talk about Brazil being united. Now it is divided and won\u2019t heal soon,\u201d Arantes said. \u201cI trust his intelligence to make this national unity administration work so we never have a Bolsonaro again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Given the nation\u2019s political fault lines, it is highly unlikely Lula ever reattains the popularity he once enjoyed, or even sees his approval rating rise above 50%, said Maur\u00edcio Santoro, a political science professor at Rio de Janeiro\u2019s State University.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Santoro said, the credibility of Lula and his Workers\u2019 Party were assailed by a sprawling corruption investigation. Party officials were jailed, including Lula \u2014 until his convictions were annulled on procedural grounds. The Supreme Court then ruled that the judge presiding over the case had colluded with prosecutors to secure a conviction.<\/p>\n<p>Lula and his supporters have maintained he was railroaded. Others were willing to look past possible malfeasance as a means to unseat Bolsonaro and bring the nation back together.<\/p>\n<p>But Bolsonaro\u2019s backers refuse to accept someone they view as a criminal returning to the highest office. And with tensions running hot, a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of events has prompted fear that violence could erupt on inauguration day.<\/p>\n<p>On Dec. 12, dozens of people <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/jair-bolsonaro-caribbean-brazil-brasilia-government-fa08598a3abecb1e0e1e621199c0861b\" data-ylk=\"slk:tried to invade a federal police building\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">tried to invade a federal police building<\/a> in Brasilia, and burned cars and buses in other areas of the city. Then on Christmas Eve, police arrested a 54-year-old man who admitted to making a bomb that was found on a fuel truck headed to Brasilia\u2019s airport.<\/p>\n<p>He had been camped outside Brasilia\u2019s army headquarters with hundreds of other Bolsonaro supporters since Nov. 12. He told police he was ready for war against communism, and planned the attack with people he had met at the protests, according to excerpts of his deposition released by local <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>. The next day, police found explosive devices and several bulletproof vests in a forested area on the federal district\u2019s outskirts.<\/p>\n<p>Lula\u2019s incoming Justice Minister, Fl\u00e1vio Dino, this week called for federal authorities to put an end to the \u201cantidemocratic\u201d protests, calling them \u201cincubators of terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to a request from Lula\u2019s team, the current justice minister authorized deployment of the national guard until Jan. 2, and Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes banned people from carrying firearms in Brasilia during these days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the fruit of political polarization, of political extremism,\u201d said Nara Pav\u00e3o, who teaches political science at the Federal University of Pernambuco. Pav\u00e3o stressed that Bolsonaro, who mostly vanished from the political scene since he lost his reelection bid, was slow to disavow recent incidents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis silence is strategic: Bolsonaro needs to keep Bolsonarismo alive,\u201d Pav\u00e3o said.<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro finally condemned the bomb plot in a Dec. 30 farewell address on social media, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/jair-bolsonaro-politics-brazil-miami-brasilia-bafec313b9fef5f7ab8717b524bd65de\" data-ylk=\"slk:hours before flying to the U.S.\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">hours before flying to the U.S.<\/a>. His absence on inauguration day will mark a break with tradition and it remains unclear who, instead of him, will hand over the presidential sash to Lula at the presidential palace.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyer Eduardo Coutinho will be there. He bought a flight to Brasilia as a Christmas present to himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish I were here when Bolsonaro\u2019s plane took off, that is the only thing that makes me almost as happy as tomorrow\u2019s event,\u201d Coutinho, 28, said after singing Lula campaign jingles on the plane. \u201cI\u2019m not usually so over-the-top, but we need to let it out and I came here just to do that. Brazil needs this to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Jeantet reported from Rio de Janeiro.
