Jair Bolsonaro, for his part, is an escort in the polls with a difference of 20 points. The current Brazilian president stated that he will only go to a second round of the debate since he does not want to be rebuked by minority candidates.
The media that launched the proposal to hold the meeting on next september 14 are the G1 portal, the newspaper O Globo and the financial newspaper Valor (all of the Globo group), the newspaper O Estado de Sao Paulo, the portal UOL and the most influential newspaper in the country, Folha de Sao Paulo.
In Brazil, the most important presidential debates are usually organized by private media companies, but this year the polarization between Lula and Bolsonaro reduced the effectiveness of that format for campaigns.
According to a statement from the consortium of these media, this type of press is read monthly by 74 million people.
