Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) has confirmed his participation in the October 25th second-round presidential debate against Lula, reversing earlier reluctance. Concurrently, Bolsonaro has scheduled a counter-programming rally on Avenida Paulista for the same day, a tactic previously employed by Lula in 1989. The impact of this dual strategy on undecided voters remains uncertain.
