A majority of Brazilians consider the release of former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) from prison in November to be fair, according to a survey by Datafolha.
According to the survey, 54% of Brazilians see Lula’s release as fair, and 42% think it was unjustified. Another 5% said they did not know.
Approximately, 2,948 people were interviewed between December 5 and 6, in 176 municipalities across the country. The margin of error is plus or minus two percentage points.

Lula left prison on November 8, after serving 19 months for money laundering and money laundering in the case of the Guarujá (SP) triplex.
He obtained his freedom thanks to the Supreme Court ruling that found his arrest unconstitutional, given the appeals pending in higher courts.
