Renan Santos accuses Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro of organized crime ties

During a press interview, presidential candidate Renan Santos, representing the Missão party, leveled accusations against major political figures. Santos claimed that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is a friend of organized crime and alleged that candidate Flávio Bolsonaro is an ally of criminal groups in Rio de Janeiro.

Santos also addressed the recent polling performance of candidate Augusto Cury. According to Atlas/Bloomberg and BTG/Nexus polls, Cury has seen a significant rise in voting intentions, reaching 11% in the BTG/Nexus survey and 7.8% in the Atlas/Bloomberg study. Santos criticized Cury's proposal to use drones to combat femicide.

Separately, Flávio Bolsonaro announced his intention to declare criminal factions and militias as international terrorist organizations, a move he stated would mirror the policies of Donald Trump.
