Brazil presidential election heads to runoff between Flávio Bolsonaro and Lula

Brazil's presidential election is heading to a runoff between incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro after a tight first round. In the initial vote, Flávio Bolsonaro secured 47.03% of valid votes, while Lula received 45.16%.

As the campaign intensifies, political alliances are shifting. The Progressistas (PP) and União Brasil parties have officially announced their support for Flávio Bolsonaro in the second round. Meanwhile, Lula has introduced several key policy proposals to distinguish his platform, including a constitutional amendment to create a Ministry of Public Security and the conversion of 138 prisons into maximum-security facilities to combat organized crime.

Labor issues have also become a central debate. Lula is advocating for the end of the 6x1 work schedule and a reduction of the maximum weekly work hours from 44 to 40 without salary cuts. Flávio Bolsonaro has countered this by proposing worker flexibility, allowing individuals to negotiate their own schedules rather than implementing a mandatory reduction.

Additionally, Lula has voiced strong opposition to online betting, describing it as a 'disgrace for the poor' and stating he will prevent essential family funds from being used for gambling.
