But maybe in your opinion it makes no difference whether it will be
Lula or Alckmin.

And at one time it would have probably made no difference to Sader as well.

"The Brazilian Left faces a serious dilemma with regard to the Lula government. In power, the PT has not fulfilled any of its historic aspirations, and cannot even be described as a government of the left."

"But the transformation of the PT into a party capable of government­and in particular the compromise with finance capital in the ‘Letter to the Brazilians’ that helped him secure victory at the fourth attempt­blocked off that possibility. In effect, Lula governs in accordance with the ‘Letter’ and not his campaign commitments, still less in line with the original promise of his party. The result has been to deepen the insecurities and inequalities of Brazilian society: figures for violent crime and homicide continue to rise. Halfway through its mandate, the Lula government has lost its way politically and is plagued by allegations of corruption."

So, if this is true, why vote to re-elect a government that is not of "the left" and which has "lost its way politically". It seems to me that it is Sader who has lost his way politically.
