Financial Times says STF crisis shadows Brazil election race

The Financial Times reported that the internal crisis in Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) is influencing the presidential election between Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro. The conflict between ministers Alexandre de Moraes and André Mendonça has cast a shadow over the campaign, with polls showing a tight race. Flavio Bolsonaro has used the crisis to attack Lula, saying a vote for Lula is a vote for Moraes. The newspaper noted the crisis has weakened the STF's credibility and fueled calls for judicial reform.
