Former Brazilian president Lula was convicted of taking a million-dollar bribe.

I am disappointed in Lula for this.

If Brazil is going to prosecute its corrupt politicians and kick them out of government, Lula should not be exempt. Kick them all out.

However, if Brazil is going to allow corrupt right-wing politicians such as fill Congress to remain in power, then Lula, who is innocent by comparison, should be allowed to run against them.
