Approaching the presidential election, neither of the two rivals convinced, while 20 % of the voters remain undecided.

The first television debate between six presidential candidates in Brazil almost hungry for thirty-five days from the first round on October 2. The head of state, Jair Bolsonaro, of the Liberal Party (PL, Far Right), had first gave up participating on Friday morning before changing his mind in the evening. Until the end, former President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, known as “Lula”, of the workers’ party (PT, left), had put his presence in parentheses since she depended on the arrival of her principal opponent.
Finally, the two main opponents of this election were there, separated by a candidate, to prevent them from sitting side by side. But neither can attract the light to him and it is, surprisingly, the “second knives” who showed much more biting during these almost three hours of confrontation.
Senator Simone Tebet, of the Brazilian democratic movement (MDB, center-right) and credited with 1 % of voting intentions in the last DataFolha survey, has confused the head of state by recalling the conclusions of the Parliamentary Survey Commission (ICC) on the Pandemic of COVID-19 (which left nearly 700,000 dead): it listed delays and corruption in the purchase of vaccines, just like intimidation from the ranks of government to prevent the commission holding. She finished, without chewing her words, on the indifference of President Bolsonaro with a scathing: “I did not see the President of the Republic take her motorcycle to go to a hospital to kiss a mother who had just lost her son. “
” 33 million Brazilians are hungry “
The candidate of the Democratic Labor Party (PDT, Center left), Ciro Gomes, with 7 % of voting intentions, was the most impactful when dismantling the president’s economic report: “I am shocked to hear President Bolsonaro say that the economy is booming. I want to remember my indignation here, but we are 33 million Brazilians who are hungry. “
If Jair Bolsonaro has not been spared, “Lula” was particularly targeted on the thorny question of corruption. From the start to the end of the debate, he has repeatedly faced the corruption scandals of his party, as well as his governance. Ensint, visibly tired, dizzy at two times, Lula kicked in touch, repeating the same well -known arguments of the Brazilian public: “I especially want to remember that there have never been so many surveys on corruption in this country that during my two terms. “The former president, who directed the country between 2003 and 2011, limited himself to recalling his assessment once again and to promise” to do the same thing, but better “, without explaining The project he is carrying for the country.
