Partido dos Trabalhadores and Lula government: the regression of the ideological
struggle
ABSTRACT: The article argues that the government of Lula da Silva and the Partido
dos Trabalhadores legitimates and grants significative space to the Brazilian right wing,
through its economical and social poilitics and its political alliances. On the "battle of
ideas", Lula's government and the leadership of PT did not contribute to the progress of
leftist ideals and values; they fail to promote the ideological struggle under the
perspective and interest of the workers and popular classes.
