Brazil is facing a runoff election between President Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of imprisoned former President Jair Bolsonaro. Flávio is mobilizing with promises of security and criticism of the establishment, while Lula is fighting for swing voters.

In the first round of Brazil's presidential election, incumbent Lula da Silva won fewer votes than expected and trails challenger Flávio Bolsonaro, whose victory could mark a further rightward shift in Latin America.
Tübing's mayor Boris Palmer explains that he will not seek ministerial office for three reasons: lack of suitability after 20 years in local politics, destroyed career prospects due to previous scandals and non-party status. He emphasizes that he can achieve more as a mayor and talk show guest than in a ministry, and describes himself as politically incompatible between the SPD, the Greens and the AfD.
The incumbent Economics Senator Franziska Giffey has spoken out in favor of the SPD's participation in government in Berlin and emphasized that you should govern if you can. It calls for a vote from the broad base to decide on a possible coalition with the Left and the Greens and names high hurdles such as dealing with anti-Semitism, organized crime and financial challenges due to an expected budget deficit.
The dispute over the reform of citizens' money is growing in the black-red coalition. Union politicians accuse Labor Minister Bärbel Bas of not implementing key projects from the coalition agreement, in particular the new regulation of housing costs and the change in benefits for Ukrainian refugees. At the same time, SPD General Secretary Tim Klüssendorf is calling for the preservation of the pension without deductions after 45 years of contributions and the inclusion of new civil servants in the statutory pension.

In the Brazilian presidential election, right-wing conservative candidate Flávio Bolsonaro received around 47 percent of the vote, while incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva received around 45 percent. Since no candidate achieved an absolute majority, Bolsonaro and Lula will face each other in the runoff election on October 25th. At the same time, the right significantly strengthened its position in the Senate and in the gubernatorial elections.
