Brazil Candidates Lula, Flavio Bolsonaro Seek to Disqualify Each Other

This is a procedural escalation in Brazil's presidential race, with both camps trying to remove the opponent through the courts rather than the ballot box. It matters because the Superior Electoral Court now becomes a de facto arena, and its rulings could reshape the field before voters weigh in. The direct effect is on the two campaigns and their legal teams; the broader question is whether this mutual disqualification push becomes a defining feature of the contest. Watch how the court sequences its decisions and whether either motion gains procedural traction.
