Bolsonaro criticizes corruption at rally on Brazil's Independence Day

Euronews Portugal8 September 2026 at 17:27

Flávio Bolsonaro, son of President Jair Bolsonaro, accused the judicial system of corruption during a rally held in São Paulo on Brazil's Independence Day. The criticism took place while the country was celebrating its most important civic date.

Flávio Bolsonaro faces Lula in the presidential elections on October 4. The electoral race places father and son on the Bolsonaro side against former President Lula, who is running for the PT.

The two candidates are tied in polls for a potential runoff. This situation of balance in voting intentions makes the election particularly competitive.

The rally on Independence Day served as a stage for attacks on the Brazilian judicial system, at a time when the Bolsonaro family is trying to consolidate support for the presidential dispute.
