News from Al-Madinah: The Brazilians arrived on Saturday, the day following the final television debate between Jayer Bolsonaro and Lula, who traded jabs before the second round on Sunday. The Brazilians were at the end of a bitter presidential campaign.
The two candidates were detained and accused of lying for more than two hours on Friday on TV Globo, the most watched channel in the nation, instead of presenting their specific plans for the next four years.
Lula was told to quit lying and go home, according to France Press.
The 77-year-old former socialist president Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva would not remain silent on Thursday, declaring: “This man is the worst liar in Brazil ever,” adding that he is “developed.”
Then Bolsonaro asked his opponent, “Do you take Viagra?” Reving the controversy over the purchase of 35,000 Viaga pills for the army.
If not for his opponent, he criticised his foreign policy and declared, “Brazil has become an outcast because to your government. No one comes here and no one wants to meet you,” He thinks of himself as the father of the poor, Polsonaro retorted mockingly, before branding him a “thief.”
It is noteworthy that Lula Da Silva, the former president who tops opinion polls, was 18 months in prison for corruption in 2018 and 2019 before the ruling was canceled.
A dishonest campaign that featured a barrage of false material on social media culminated in the Friday debate.
Political commentator Otavio Gidis said on the Globoniws channel after the discussion, “It was an argument that did not present anything that could affect the data.”
In the most recent study by the Datafolha Institute, which was released on Thursday, Lula marginally improved his lead (from 4 to 6 points), as he received 53% of the vote intentions compared to the extremist right-wing president’s 47%.
On October 2, Lula received 48% of the votes, compared to Bolsonaro’s 43%. The latter’s outcome was significantly better than what the polls predicted, which gave him some traction during the second campaign.
