Lula vows more radio and selfies to reverse first-round result
Poder360·BR·3 days ago
Brazil's TSE president ruled that videos posted by Flávio Bolsonaro linking Lula to Minister Moraes, INSS, and casinos fall within electoral criticism limits, rejecting PT's request to remove them. This is a campaign-related legal decision ahead of the 2026 elections, with implications for electoral messaging boundaries.
President Lula's re-election campaign is intensifying its social media strategy, adopting direct candidate-mode communication and leveraging left-wing influencers to counter Bolsonaro's online dominance. This shift includes aggressive messaging against Flávio Bolsonaro, with the TSE ruling that some critical campaign videos are permissible, indicating an escalating and legally contested electoral environment.
