Brazilian scientists warn of potential U.S. interference in elections
The Brazilian scientific community, led by the Academia Brasileira de Ciências (ABC) and the Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência (SBPC), has issued a joint alert regarding potential foreign interference in Brazil's upcoming elections, specifically citing concerns over influence from the United States.
The warning follows a confidential report from the Agência Brasileira de Inteligência (Abin) produced in late August, which identified risks of U.S. influence and a trend toward escalating pressure on Brazil. The scientific entities emphasized that the election must remain a sovereign process, free from political or economic conditioning, digital disinformation, or the misuse of digital platforms.
In response to these risks, the Instituto Vladimir Herzog has submitted a letter to the United Nations to draw international attention to the potential for interference and to advocate for the swift recognition of official electoral results. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva also addressed the issue during his speech at the UN General Assembly, asserting that Brazil will not allow foreign actors to interfere in the will of its voters.
