Brazil's Haddad May Exit to Join Lula's 2026 Campaign

Fernando Haddad, who is the Finance Minister of Brazil, said he might leave his job to help Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, also known as Lula, with his campaign for president in 2026.

Haddad told a newspaper that he wants to work on Lula's campaign and think about the government's plans.

Lula, who is 80 years old, has said he wants to run for president again.

There are some people who might run against him, like Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of a former president.

Haddad also said that the government has been slow to make some important appointments because of the political situation.

The central bank in Brazil has kept interest rates high, and people are waiting to see when they might go down.
