And here in neighboring Brazil he is a “communist” because he dared criticize Bolsonaro.

Concave shape vs convex shape
There’s a lot of historical resentment, many things justified, many exaggerated.
This is for my state, others must have other reasons.
I voted against Bolsonaro because for me it was clear he was just more of the same, just with a façade of change. By me both Lula and Bolsonaro should be cell mates.
It’s complicated…
My state is one of the most prosperous of the country, and built on numerous social policies, that even the “right-wing” politicians reflect, and mostly voted for Bolsonaro, because Lula represented a continuation of all previous governments that only cared about taking our wealth for nothing in return, or destroying our culture(s), and Bolsonaro was the first to pretend to care.
But my state of not one of the affected (directly) by the fires.
I can’t exactly say for the other states, but for mine (Santa Catarina), the governor has since the beginning of the mandate avoided any and all meetings with Lula, even finding some bullshit excuse to leave the state when Lula came here for a public works inauguration.
For too many here “doing anything” “hurts the economy”
Bolsonaro has his share of guilt today, but this is a decades old issue, centuries even if extending to the colonial exploitation culture.
Not just lack of preparation, many governors are actively hostile to Lula and conservation efforts, and many farmers are creating more fires to spite Lula and “support” Bolsonaro.
