In Brazil, supporters of Lula and Bolsonaro mobilized until the end: "My father no longer voted. I convinced him that this election was the most important of our lives"

On October 24, supporters of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva gathered at Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro ahead of Brazil's presidential runoff against Flavio Bolsonaro. Lula's supporters expressed their determination to fight for their rights, particularly against proposed budget cuts. Despite a strong mobilization, polls indicate Bolsonaro holds a slight lead. Historically, candidates in Lula's position have struggled to win in the second round since Brazil's return to democracy in 1985.
