Donyaye Eghtesad: "Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva," the President of Brazil, and right-wing Senator "Flávio Bolsonaro," launched a barrage of personal attacks against each other just a week before the second round of the intense presidential elections. During this tumultuous debate on Sunday (October 18), the two candidates repeatedly called each other "liars," accused each other of corruption, dug up various scandals, and clashed on various issues ranging from public security to health care. Lula described Bolsonaro as a "master liar" and "evil," and physically distanced himself on stage from the candidate whom he referred to as a "militia man," a veiled reference to his alleged connections with militia groups in Rio de Janeiro.
