In Brazil, why the middle classes have turned their backs on Lula

Cibele Santiago, a 38-year-old civil engineer from Brazil, struggles to make ends meet while working multiple jobs. Despite her education, she earns only 4,500 reais monthly from her municipal job. Living in a social housing project, she dreams of owning a home but feels frustrated with the current government, which she believes is not addressing future needs. Once a supporter of President Lula, she now feels disconnected from his administration's focus.
