Former right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro stole the show on Monday at Brazil’s largest agribusiness fair where he was acclaimed by supporters from the country’s strong farm sector. Bolsonaro criticized the decision by Lula to recognize new Indigenous reservations, a constant complaint by farmers in Brazil’s expanding agricultural frontier. The deep-pocketed and powerful farm sector was a major supporter of Bolsonaro’s 2018 election. Bolsonaro faces legal risks that could ban him from running in the 2026 election. Agriculture Minister Carlos Favaro wished the farmers success and said he looked forward to attending next year.
