Brazil Workers' Party alleges US interference after consular services suspended pre-election

Brazil's Workers' Party leader Edinho Silva called the US suspension of consular services 'unprecedented' and warned of external pressure ahead of the Lula–Bolsonaro runoff. The suspension, two days before the vote, is framed by the party as interference, though the US rationale is unstated. This adds a geopolitical dimension to a tense electoral contest, potentially affecting bilateral relations and market sentiment toward Brazilian assets.
