Final debate and controversies mark closing days of Brazil presidential election
What happened
Brazil held its final presidential debate before the runoff election between candidates Jair Bolsonaro and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The debate focused on issues including living costs and corruption. In the days surrounding the debate, various controversies emerged involving allegations of election interference and publicity stunts.
Side by side
The Guardian focused on two separate controversies: allegations of "Meta's alleged Bolsonaro bias" with claims of "tech firm meddling on behalf of US president Donald Trump," and coverage of Flavio Bolsonaro's "'corrupto' stunt" that "backfires as people take to social media to parody it."
Reuters led with the substance of the debate itself, reporting that "Bolsonaro and Lula clash on living costs, corruption." Bloomberg covered Brazilian government accusations that Argentine leader Milei engaged in "election meddling for calling Lula 'Thief'" and suggesting he "may try to steal the election."
