BRASILIA: Brazil's Supreme Electoral Court has withdrawn an invitation for the European Union to send observers for the October election after President Jair Bolsonaro's government objected, the EU and the election body confirmed on Tuesday .
Two days later the foreign ministry objected, saying Brazil has never had its elections"evaluated" by an organization of which it is not a member. Bolsonaro has questioned the validity of Brazil's electronic voting system and made baseless allegations of fraud in the 2018 race, stirring concerns that he may not accept the results of the October election.
"However, the TSE has since advised us that they will not pursue their request from March, due to reservations expressed by the Brazilian government," Peter Stano, spokesman for foreign affairs for the European Commission, said."Under these circumstances, we will not send an exploratory mission to Brazil to assess a possible EU observer mission."
