In Brazil, André Janones, the "general" behind Lula's "digital army"

André Janones, a prominent figure in Lula's campaign, played a crucial role in his electoral success by mobilizing supporters through social media. His energetic approach and strategic use of WhatsApp helped counteract the digital influence of the far-right. Janones, originally a bus fare collector, gained fame during a truckers' strike in 2018, leading to his election as a federal deputy.
