Milei backs Bolsonaro, attacks Lula ahead of Brazil runoff

Argentine President Javier Milei publicly endorsed Brazilian opposition candidate Jair Bolsonaro and launched a personal attack on President Lula da Silva, calling him a 'poverty-inducing leftist.' The endorsement comes after the first round of Brazil's presidential election, where Bolsonaro led with 47.03% against Lula's 45.16%, setting up an October 25 runoff. This marks a sharp escalation in regional ideological polarization, with Milei aligning Argentina with Brazil's right-wing opposition, potentially straining bilateral relations and regional diplomacy.
