TSE suspends Lula campaign propaganda with attacks on Flavio Bolsonaro

cbn31 August 2026 at 11:14

The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) ordered the suspension of a propaganda piece from President Lula's (PT) campaign that attacked Senator Flavio Bolsonaro (PL). The piece, titled "Get to Know Flavio Bolsonaro's Resume," called the senator a ghost employee and made references to episodes such as the "rachadinhas" case and accusations related to Banco Master.

The preliminary injunction was issued by Minister Estela Aranha, who considered that the propaganda exceeded the limits of political criticism by presenting accusations out of context, with the potential to induce voters to error. The minister highlighted that the piece did not adequately inform the outcome of the "rachadinhas" case.

With the decision, Lula and his coalition are prohibited from broadcasting this propaganda again until the final judgment. Television broadcasters were also notified to interrupt the display of the piece.

Channel crossings by migrants in small boats have never been so few since 2019

The UK recorded this summer the lowest number of migrant crossings in small boats across the English Channel since 2019, with the British government celebrating the success of the cooperation agreement with France. The total number of migrants who crossed the English Channel between June and August fell to the lowest level in seven years, at a time when weather conditions and increased political tensions in France may have contributed to the reduction. The bilateral agreement, which includes greater French surveillance on the northern French beaches and information sharing, has been pointed out as a determining factor in the decrease of these dangerous crossings.
