Brazilian President Lula has warned against foreign interference in the upcoming October election, framing the vote as a choice between democracy and denialism while directly challenging rivals with ties to foreign powers. He further asserted Brazil's sovereignty by rejecting US-led security measures and asserting that the nation will handle organized crime through cooperation rather than external military involvement.
