Neymar sparked some antipathy among his countrymen when a few weeks ago he published a video on his social networks showing his support for Bolsonaro, a far-right candidate to continue as president of Brazil. Lula da Silva, a leftist rival, interpreted the player’s position yesterday: “I think he is afraid that if I win the election he will find out what Bolsonaro has forgiven him,” in reference to his debt to treasury
In the second round of elections in Brazil, Lula da Silva attacked and did not hesitate to speak loudly and clearly about this situation: “Neymar has the right to choose who he wants as president, but it is clear that Bolsonaro signed an agreement with the father. Now he has tax problems in Spain,” he added, referring to the trial being held in Barcelona for alleged tax irregularities in his move to Barça in 2013.
Lula da Silva came out on top in the first round of elections on October 2, with 48% of the vote, five points ahead of President Bolsonaro. The second round, scheduled for October 30, will serve as a showdown between the two. The left-wing candidate, who has been president between 2003 and 2010, said he has nothing against Neymar: “It’s a problem that concerns the tax agency, not me,” he concluded.
