In early September 2026, the collective ‘Judias e Judeus Pela Democracia’ released a manifesto with over one thousand signatures supporting the reelection of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Geraldo Alckmin. The petition was a response to comments by Flávio Bolsonaro regarding Cláudio Lottenberg, president of the Israelite Confederation of Brazil, who was named a potential Minister of Health. The manifesto sought to clarify that Lottenberg’s position does not represent the Jewish community’s support for Bolsonarism. By mid-September, the support for Lula’s reelection expanded through the “Bora Lula” movement. A group of over 100 artists, intellectuals, and producers released the manifesto “A cultura está com Lula e pede mudanças” (Culture is with Lula and asks for changes). While supporting the continuity of the government and the Ministry of Culture, the group called for strategic reforms, including better management of funds for institutions like Ancine and Funarte, and the integration of culture into national economic strategies. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-17: Brazilian artists support Lula reelection while demanding cultural reforms Over 100 Brazilian artists and intellectuals issued a manifesto supporting President Lula's reelection while demanding strategic reforms and better funding for the nation's cultural institutions. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazilian-artists-support-lula-reelection-while-demanding-cultural-reforms ### 2026-09-01: Jewish collective issues manifesto supporting Lula reelection A Jewish collective in Brazil released a manifesto supporting Lula and Alckmin for 2026, distancing the community from Cláudio Lottenberg following his nomination by Flávio Bolsonaro. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jewish-collective-issues-manifesto-supporting-lula-reelection --- Cite as: Brazilian political support for Lula reelection.
