The presidential elections in Brazil are being marked by a strong political use of the Federal Supreme Court crisis in electoral campaigns. CNN Portugal journalist João Sundfeld, who is following the electoral process in the country, states that this is the biggest crisis that the Federal Supreme Court has ever faced.

According to the analyst, Lula's campaign shows some concern about the second round of elections, when it will need the support of other voters to secure victory. This concern is related to the impact that the court's crisis may have on the dynamics of the presidential race.

João Sundfeld highlights that the STF situation is already being actively explored as a campaign theme by different candidates, evidencing the relevance that this judicial body has in current Brazilian politics.
