Brazilian Senator and presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro accused incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of attempting to buy the votes of low-income citizens. The accusation, reported on September 17 in São Paulo, followed a government decree that increased the value of the country's primary social assistance subsidy by 15 percent.
At the same time, recent polling data indicates that Flávio Bolsonaro, representing the political opposition, has narrowed the gap against Lula. The new survey shows Bolsonaro cutting his deficit by one point to achieve a technical tie with Lula ahead of the first round of the presidential election scheduled for October 4.
