Brazil’s Lula and Bolsonaro debate policy proposals before run-off
Polls indicate Brazil's presidential candidates are neck and neck before Sunday's voting.
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.
Friday’s debate in Rio de Janeiro, which was broadcast on TV Globo, was notably more diplomatic than their initial face-off on Sunday but also saw its share of personal attacks and tense moments.
