When asked who is, among Brazilian figures, the main culprit for the tariff hike that the United States imposed on Brazil, voters are divided, according to a new Datafolha survey released this Saturday. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was mentioned by 35% of respondents. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) is cited by 35% of respondents, four points less than the sum of the Bolsonaro family — former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) is mentioned by 22%, and Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) by 17%.
Combined, the indexes of both correspond to 39% of the responses, tying with the leftist at the limit of the margin of error, which is two percentage points more or less.
The survey also indicated that Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court, is considered responsible for the taxation by 15% of the respondents. His actions against Bolsonaro have been cited in statements by American President Donald Trump and his allies to justify the imposition of 50% tariffs on Brazilian products. The magistrate has also recently become a target of Magnitsky sanctions, which include restrictions such as the blocking of bank accounts and dollarized assets.
Another 3% of respondents answered that none of the three are to blame, while 1% stated that all are responsible and 7% did not know how to respond.
