Rallying in Sao Paulo, presidential candidates seek votes and political support
- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva led a massive rally on Sunday along Sao Paulo's Paulista Avenue, awash in red, to campaign for the October 25 election runoff.
- Lula, vying for a fourth term, is trying to regain ground after Flavio Bolsonaro emerged as the surprise winner of the first-round vote on October 4.
- The Senate is scheduled to vote this Wednesday on labor legislation that would increase weekly paid days off and reduce the maximum working week from 44 to 40 hours.
- Bolsonaro dismissed the proposal as "opportunistic," telling reporters his opponent "has to say whether he is in favor of workers resting more or continuing to work longer hours."
- Polls currently favor the son of Jair Bolsonaro to win the October 25 runoff, as candidates present divergent economic visions ranging from spending cuts to labor reforms.
