Milei backs Flávio Bolsonaro's candidacy, drawing a rebuke from Brazil's governing party
Speaking at the Pacaembú stadium, where the eldest son of former president Jair Bolsonaro was formally nominated for the October 4 elections, Milei said Brazil faces what he called a “Lula risk” and argued the country is heading toward a debt crisis for lack of fiscal adjustment. “Wasteful spending gets paid for, and let's hope the one who caused it pays for it by losing at the ballot box in October,” he said. He referred to the Brazilian president using the words “thief,” “convict,” and “totalitarian,” and used disparaging language about the region's left-wing parties.
