Milei Insults Lula at Bolsonaro Campaign Event in Brazil

On July 25, 2026, Argentine President Javier Milei appeared at a campaign event in São Paulo, Brazil, to support Flávio Bolsonaro's presidential candidacy. During his speech, Milei called Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva a "thief," "convict," and "socialist trash," and also insulted Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, calling him a "bald piece of trash."

Lula's team called the remarks "unacceptable." However, Lula himself said that "no one from outside will stick their finger" in Brazil's elections. Despite Milei's harsh words, he did not join a crowd that chanted for Lula's imprisonment.
