Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has announced significant policy changes just two weeks before the upcoming election, including a 15% increase to the main cash-transfer program for low-income families. This move aims to bolster support among vulnerable populations.
In addition to the welfare increase, the government will also provide free weight-loss injections. These initiatives have drawn criticism from political opponents who allege they are strategically timed to influence voters, particularly as President da Silva faces a close contest against far-right Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.
