Lula campaign alleges foreign interference, slams US/Australia embassy closures

Lula's campaign coordinator Edinho Silva accused foreign countries of interfering in Brazil's presidential election and criticized the temporary suspension of consular services at US and Australian embassies, framing it as an attempt to contest Brazilian public opinion. The claim of international interference is unsubstantiated beyond campaign statements, with investigations reportedly underway. This escalates pre-election tensions and signals a potential diplomatic rift ahead of the vote.
