MADRID, 29 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has decided not to participate in any electoral debate, at least during the first round of the campaign, and reevaluates his presence in the media, after the face to face this Sunday with the rest of the candidates has not gone as planned.

For the moment, Bolsonaro has been absent from the event organized by the Jovem Pan radio station, the main radio station in Brazil, which he planned to attend this Monday. His team would have also decided to limit their interviews to podcasts with a large audience and little confrontation, reports the newspaper 'O Globo'.

According to a survey carried out by Datafolha, Bolsonaro was the worst valued among the undecided. Ultra-conservative President Bolsonaro comfortably leads the ranking of the worst-performing candidates, at 51 percent.

Although it was not the night of the main favorite of these elections, former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Bolsonaro ended up skidding after launching sexist attacks against journalist Vera Magalhães, when he asked her about the influence of misinformation on the fall in rates. vaccination against coronavirus.

The profanities launched against Magalhães represented his worst moment in a debate that began as expected, accusing Lula of leading corrupt and kleptocratic governments. The candidate of the Workers' Party (PT) did not have the brilliance of other occasions and the confrontation between the two was below expectations.
