AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoRunoff Race: Brazil’s presidential contest remains too close to call: a new Quaest poll puts Flávio Bolsonaro at 45% and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at 44%, within the margin of error, ahead of Sunday’s vote. Older voters and welfare recipients could be pivotal, with seniors leaning toward Lula amid concerns about possible cuts to healthcare and pensions. Campaign Legal Fight: The rivals are seeking each other’s disqualification over alleged misuse of social media, while Lula and Flávio spar over releasing personal financial and telephone records. The dispute follows scrutiny of Meta’s election moderation; the company denies bias, and Brazil’s electoral court has demanded proof of equal treatment. Policy Stakes: The close race puts Brazil’s welfare programs and Amazon protections in focus. Deforestation has fallen sharply under Lula, but environmentalists warn that progress could be at risk if Flávio wins.
