Flávio Bolsonaro blames Lula government for debt among 80 million Brazilians
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro blamed President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s government for debt affecting more than 80 million Brazilians, according to his social media post and remarks on 10 April. He said 20% of those in debt could not pay basic bills and criticised the regulation of online betting, claiming some indebted people expected to make money through betting sites.
The remarks link online betting regulation to a public debate about household debt and could add pressure for policy changes.
