Less than two days before the elections and in the atmosphere of the end of the championship, Lula (PT) and Bolsonaro (PL) returned to the ring and left their proposals aside in the last debate on TV Globo.

Minimum wage
The 1th round The theme was the minimum wage.
Bolsonaro began participating in the debate without “even saying good night”, which was considered a demonstration of nervousness on the networks, and accused Lula of lying about reducing the minimum wage promehaving, in 2023, the value of R$1.400,00 (one thousand and four hundred reais).
In the second block, the topic returned to the conversation between the candidates. Lula said that the person who spoke about adjusting the minimum wage was Minister Paulo Gudes.
“The one who spoke was your god, Paulo Guedes,” said Lula.

“Guedes didn’t say that, no,” replied Bolsonaro.
Liar?
Throughout the debate both candidates called each other liars. Lula went to the numbers, and said that the press found that Bolsonaro “lied 6.498 times”. The information was released by Agência Aos Fatos.
At the end of the first block, after finishing a speech, Lula, who was close to Bolsonaro, walked away towards the bench. At that moment, Bolsonaro made a provocation: “Stay here, boy,” said the president. “I don’t want to be close to you,” Lula replied.
When the topic was combating poverty, Lula said that 33 million people are hungry in the country . Bolsonaro mentioned the amounts paid by Auxílio Brasil and asked Lula to stop lying.

“In our government, according to Ipea, anyone who earns up to R$10 per day is below the poverty line. We are offering R$20 per day. Stop lying, Lula, for the love of God”, said the president.
Lula asked for the right to respond and stated that Bolsonaro knows “who lies in the country”.
When talking about foreign policy, Bolsonaro again called Lula a “liar” after the former president stated that Brazil is isolated.

"Liar. I traded fertilizers with Russia. Imagine Brazil without fertilizers. Where would our food security and that of more than 1 billion people around the world end up?”
Who is Roberto Jefferson's friend?
Bolsonaro tried to link the image of the former federal deputy to that of the PT member. Lula said that Bolsonaro tried to hide Roberto Jefferson and recalled his aggression against federal police officers on Sunday (23).
“He just tried to hide Roberto Jefferson, his gunman. The man with the guns, the man he trusts, the man who was shot by the Federal Police and I was the one who hid it?”, alleged Lula.

Bolsonaro countered by remembering that Jefferson was the whistleblower of the Mensalão, during the Lula government.
Covid-19 and Viagra
Lula criticized Bolsonaro's management in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Brazil has 3% of the world population, however, Brazil has 11% of Covid victims. That is, three times more than the average. The question is: why neglect? Why spend 45 days denying the vaccine? Why deny the disease? Why hide your vaccination card?” questionor Lula.
Bolsonaro said that more than 500 million doses of vaccine had been acquired and denied having refused the vaccine.
Lula also criticized the purchase by the Armed Forces of more than 35 thousand units of Viagra.
CPX and arms policy
“Lula, you were at the Alemão complex these days. It was not to see the working people, the orderly people, 99% or more of the population, good citizens. You were there meeting with the drug trafficking bosses, the big bosses. No one goes there without being accompanied by the police,” said Bolsonaro. The statement went down badly online.
Lula stated that he “visited extraordinary people”. “I am the only president of the Republic who has the courage and morals to enter a favela, before and after, to be treated as a human being and to treat everyone with respect.”
Environment
In a dispute over who deforested more or who burned less, factoids and a commitment to the truth remained. What was least heard were proposals.
Embarrassing moment
The PT candidate got lost in time and left Bolsonaro with more than two minutes to speak alone. But the president left 10 seconds behind. When reminded that he still had time, Bolsonaro knelt down and repeated the motto “God, country and family”, which refers to to the fascism of the Brazilian Integralist Action (AIB), created in the 1930s.

It even left for Bonner
In a debate with few 'rights of reply' one deserves special mention, that of the presenter, William Bonner.
When mentioned by Jair Bolsonaro, Bonner asked to make a brief clarification.
Failed act: Bolsonaro wants to become a Federal Deputy again?
In his final considerations, Bolsonaro commits a mistake and says he will return to being a “federal deputy”.
