Brazil presidential run-off goes down to the wire • FRANCE 24 English

Brazil's future within the margin of error ahead of Sunday's presidential runoff: most of the latest polls put the far-right's Flavio Bolsonaro ahead of left-wing incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva... a lead that's narrowed after last weekend's acrimomious debate. We'll ask about crime, inequality and the other issues that could determine this nail-biter. We'll ask whether the nearly 81-year old Lula's lost his lustre of old, whether Brazilians are ready to overlook the attempted coup conviction of the 45-year old Bolsonaro's father after he was voted out last time around in 2022... and how Brazil's changed in four years. For starters, it's embrace of social media's only snowballed with the planet's third biggest usage of Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. It's such a factor that Meta, the parent group of Whatsapp, Instagram and Twitter has been branded by critics as the third party in the runoff... with Bolsonaro's supporters flooding the zone with content. Will all the virtual campaigning tip the scales on Sunday? #bolsonaro #lula #brazil 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
