Daily brief
In Brazil, a televised debate on TV Globo was canceled in October 2026 after Flávio Bolsonaro withdrew and Lula did not attend. Bolsonaro cited what he called censorship by the TSE, the country's electoral court, which had barred an empty podium for Lula; a court order required Renan to appear. Lula's campaign said Bolsonaro raised his tone and then fled, while Bolsonaro called Lula a "fugitive" and spoke of censorship in the elections. Separately, Flávio Bolsonaro asked Supreme Court Justice Fachin to remove Justice Dino from cases involving the elections, Lula and himself, and Fachin rejected the request. Eduardo Bolsonaro suggested he would become foreign minister in Flávio Bolsonaro's government.
Brazil's 2026 general election is approaching with Lula and Bolsonaro polling in a close race, and violence is seen as a factor that could define the tight contest.
