newsbomb.gr (Greek) —

Brazil holds a runoff election Sunday between leftist leader Lula and right-wing senator Bolsonaro, with polls showing a near tie. The vote will determine the future of one of Latin America's last leftist governments. Lula, seeking a fourth term, emphasizes democracy and Amazon protection, while Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, promises a tougher crime fight and spending cuts. The campaign was marked by allegations of social media manipulation, which Meta denied. The winner faces political tensions, with analysts predicting conflict with Congress if Lula wins or with the Supreme Court if Bolsonaro prevails. Bolsonaro has pledged to release his father, who is serving a 27-year house arrest sentence.
