The far-right in Brazil is consolidating its position within traditional parties, a development partially confirmed by recent election results. This shift is reportedly threatening the Lulism political movement and may necessitate a strategic left turn for Lula to avoid defeat. The full extent of this 'ultra-right offensive' and its potential to 'Trumpify Latin America' remains a low-confidence claim.
