Brazil’s Sept. 7 Independence Day celebrations will serve as a campaign stage for the main presidential candidates, one month before the first round of voting.
In Brasília, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will attend the civic-military parade on the Esplanada dos Ministérios. His appearance will focus on national sovereignty, confronting violence against women and other social issues.
In São Paulo, Flávio Bolsonaro plans to use the crisis affecting the Supreme Federal Court as a rallying point for supporters on Avenida Paulista.
