Brazil’s Lula and Bolsonaro debate policy proposals before run-off

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and his right-wing rival Flavio Bolsonaro have focused on policy proposals in the final debate before their presidential run-off . The candidates questioned each other on Friday, two days before the election, about Brazil’s economy, infrastructure and regional development. Lula challenged his rival’s plan to take a “chainsaw” to public spending in a manner similar to that of Argentina’s libertarian president, Javier Milei. “I’ll have the same job here [as Milei in Argentina] because you’re leaving the country bankrupt,” Bolsonaro responded.
