Report: Bolsonaro kills EU election-mission plan
By EUobserver
The EU has cancelled plans to observer elections in Brazil in October after president Jair Bolsonaro's government objected to the mission, Brazilian sources told Reuters Tuesday. "Under these circumstances, we will not send an exploratory mission to Brazil to assess a possible EU observer mission," an EU spokesman said. An exploratory mission due to go earlier has also been cancelled, the EU confirmed.
