Brazil IDB nomination meets resistance from Lula allies

Brazil's nomination to head the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) is facing resistance among allies of leftist presidential frontrunner Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who want him to have a formal say if he wins office this month. The government of right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro has already begun seeking regional support for its nominee to run the development bank.
