The Workers\u2019 Party cited <strong>several indicators of foreign interference, including sanctions against Brazilian authorities, tariffs imposed by United States, and actions designed to discredit the electoral system<\/strong>. Additionally, the party <strong>pointed to potential illegal campaign financing linked to the U.S.-based Rockbridge Network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a related development, the party\u2019s National Secretary of Communication, \u00c9den Valadares, reported on September 25 that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Lula\/?locale=es_LA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook page<\/a> of President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva was disabled, and his advertising account was restricted. This incident has led them to consider taking legal action against Meta, the company of Facebook, alleging partial behavior that disadvantages one campaign over others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A confidential report from the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (ABIN), titled \u201c<em>Threats to the Electoral Process 2026,\u201d<\/em> warns of potential U.S. intervention in the upcoming elections. The report, revealed by journalist M\u00f4nica Bergamo, suggests that <strong>Washington could exert pressure to realign Brazil\u2019s political and economic vision, potentially straining relations with China and causing commercial tensions<\/strong>. The document also warns of possible demands for guarantees regarding the participation of political dissidents, in a context marked by previous sanctions and the classification of Brazilian criminal organizations as terrorist groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Brazilian government, under President Lula, has responded by activating mechanisms of commercial reciprocity. Lula da Silva inaugurated the General Debate of the 81st United Nations General Assembly on September 22, where he emphasized that the <strong>October 4 elections will determine the future between democracy and regression, condemning campaigns of disinformation and external interference<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The electoral contest pits Lula da Silva against Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro, who is running despite his father\u2019s legal troubles. The Workers\u2019 Party (PT)\u2019s call for an investigation underscores its commitment to ensuring a fair and transparent electoral process, free from external manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Author: Laura V.
