The campaign for the reelection of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva filed actions at the Superior Electoral Court against the PL candidate, Bolsonaro, and his running mate, Alfredo Gaspar. One of the actions requests the annulment of the candidacy registration of the ticket and the declaration of ineligibility of Bolsonaro.
The request is related to the senator's speech at the opening of the Barretos Bull Riding Festival in São Paulo. At the event, Bolsonaro made an appeal to agribusiness, but did not present proposals for the sector and did not mention Lula directly.
The Lula campaign argues that there was abuse of economic power. According to the action, Bolsonaro's ticket used a professional sound, lighting, and audience structure, which would constitute illegal corporate financing and a disguised campaign rally.
In another action, the Lula coalition requests the removal of videos in which Bolsonaro and allies use deepfake to refer to Lula as a "criminal." The action questions the authenticity and use of these tools in campaign materials.
