The current president, Jair Bolsonaro, and the historic leader of the PT and former head of the Executive, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, exchanged complaints this Thursday night in what was the last debate prior to the elections this Sunday in Brazil.
The most powerful economy in Latin America and one of the most important in the world elects a president this Sunday, October 2, and the world will be watching.
“Liar, ex-convict and traitor to the Homeland,” Bolsonaro told Lula in one of his speeches in a debate in which he was seen as aggressive, a classic position of those who are behind in the polls.
Indeed, according to previous polls, Lula leads Bolsonaro by more than 10 points, which will be enough to win, but not to avoid a second round.
Bolsonaro said that Lula was part of a “kleptocracy” and even hinted that he was part of a plot to assassinate a former mayor.

The leader of the Workers’ Party, meanwhile, Lula asked Bolsonaro for “some honesty” and a “little bit of seriousness.” “On October 2 you are going to go home, don’t lie, it is ugly for a president to lie at all times and shamelessly,” said Lula, who also accused Bolsonaro of being “corrupt and mafioso.”
The debate, organized by the most important network in that country, TV Globo, was held three days before the elections.
Polls: who wins in the elections in Brazil
The latest poll for the elections in Brazil, published this week by the Datafolha Institute, says that Lula would achieve 48 percent of the vote on Sunday, compared to 34 percent for Jair Bolsonaro.
However, if the valid votes were counted, the man from the PT could exceed 50 percent, a necessary condition to win in the first round and avoid a ballot.
In the last stretch of the campaign, Lula has focused on calling those who are undecided and those who say they will vote for other candidates more relegated in the polls, such as Ciro Gomes (who has 7 percent of the intention to vote) to vote. and Simone Tebet (5 percent).
