The United States revoked the visa of Brazilian ambassador to Washington Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, deepening the diplomatic dispute between the administration of Donald Trump and the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Washington described the move as a response to Brazil's handling of the approval process for Trump's nominee for ambassador to Brazil. Die Zeit ↗
The tension comes shortly after Lula was officially nominated in São Paulo by the Workers' Party as its candidate for the October presidential election. The eighty-year-old left-wing politician will be running for a fourth term at the head of the country, and before roughly 3,000 supporters he emphasized that he is in good shape. El Mundo ↗
Brazilian police also announced that they are investigating eight people suspected of planning attacks in the capital during the upcoming elections. The acts under investigation include possible conspiracy, incitement to criminal activity, and glorification of a crime, though at this stage the case is not being treated as terrorism. hnonline.sk ↗
After two previous terms from 2003 to 2010, Lula returned to power in 2023. His main rival is expected to be Flávio Bolsonaro, son of the imprisoned former president Jair Bolsonaro. The campaign is thus accompanied by both domestic political tension and growing international pressure. Voters will decide on Brazil's future direction in October. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
