Brazil candidate Cury attacks Lula's Bolsa Família readjustment as election ploy

In Brazil's 2026 presidential race, candidate Cury accused President Lula of using 'the pain of others' by readjusting Bolsa Família benefits close to the election, arguing the program should pay at least double. The claim is part of campaign rhetoric, with no independent verification of the benefit's adequacy. This highlights electoral tensions over social policy timing and fiscal sustainability.
