Final calls to vote for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, of the PT (left-wing Workers' Party), and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, of the PL (right-wing Liberal Party), two days before the first round of the presidential elections in Brazil.

In the latest propaganda space, broadcast on Thursday, the eldest son of former president Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022), sentenced to over 27 years for attempted coup d'état, invited voters to leave the "old system" behind, while Lula vindicated the social policies of his government and promised, among other things, to reduce the working week by eliminating Saturday work.

Today Lula held an electoral initiative in the center of Rio de Janeiro, with a walk between Candelária and Cinelândia, and continues to Belo Horizonte. Flávio Bolsonaro will instead be tomorrow in Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, in the interior of São Paulo, for a procession with the governor Tarcísio de Freitas. The two will conclude their respective campaigns tomorrow in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The first round will be held on Sunday 4 October.

The United States has not had a resident ambassador to Nicaragua for three years.

Giorgetti announces budget deviation of 28 billion for energy and defense, deficit above 3% in 2027-2028

Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti announced a budget gap of around 28 billion over two years, equally divided between energy and defence, with spending on weapons reduced by 7 billion compared to previous forecasts. The Public Finance Policy Document raises the forecast deficit to 3.4% in 2027 and 3.3% in 2028, although net of the deviation it remains below 3%. The maneuver was born in a complex context marked by inflation, rates and uncertainty about the future leadership of the ECB, with Giorgetti calling for prudence and clarity on Lagarde. The parliamentary vote on the deviation is scheduled for October 13th.

Schlein attacks Conte and M5s in the PD direction: 'One is worth one is not worth discussing'

Elly Schlein, secretary of the Democratic Party, harshly criticized Giuseppe Conte and the M5s during her report to the party leadership, stating that 'one is worth one' is not valid in the programmatic discussion, despite the fact that voters gave the Democratic Party double the votes of the other opposition forces. He opened primaries to choose the coalition leader, but set conditions, including support for Ukraine. Conte responded by proposing primaries and accusing Schlein of wanting to impose hegemony, while the reformists of the Democratic Party, led by Lorenzo Guerini, did not participate in the vote on the report. Franco Gabrielli has made his entry into the field official with Più Uno.
