> Inside Latin America examines Brazil’s pivotal presidential election, where 80-year-old President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva faces Senator Flavio Bolsonaro. Flavio is seeking to carry forward the political movement built by his jailed father, former President Jair Bolsonaro. Analyst Eduardo Jose Grin discusses whether Flavio could challenge the election’s legitimacy if defeated, as his father once did, amid competing claims of AI-driven disinformation and fake news from both campaigns.
