Lula attacks DF governor, rules out BRB bailout ahead of local elections

President Lula, campaigning in Brasília less than 20 days before elections, called Governor Celina Leão 'cynical' and stated the federal government will not rescue Banco de Brasília (BRB), distancing himself from the Banco Master scandal. He offered no new policy proposals, only lamenting high meat prices and dissatisfaction with the minimum wage. The remarks signal political friction ahead of the DF vote but carry no immediate market impact.
