Candidates trade personal attacks

The two politicians sparred over the cost of living and exchanged allegations of corruption during the over two-hour event. Lula described the younger Bolsonaro as a student who can memorize facts but cannot learn. The senator responded by claiming food prices rose under the current administration.

Debate focuses on security

Both candidates repeated their campaign proposals while addressing themes such as welfare and national security. Lula defended his government's minimum wage increases and stated his administration helped millions escape hunger. Bolsonaro criticized a tax reform approved by the current government.
