🇧🇷 Brazil president makes Argentina a campaign boogeyman

President Jair Bolsonaro has turned Argentina into a sort of political boogeyman, a warning of the horrors his nation could face if it elects leftist former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Bolsonaro in 2019 urged Argentines to vote for Macri rather than Fernández — who had ostentatiously visited da Silva in jail before convictions were thrown out by Brazil’s Supreme Court. His campaign ad slot on national television with a blast at Argentina's left-leaning leaders, who have been friendly with his election rival, while critics focus on Argentina's persistent 83% high inflation and import controls.

Both candidates made their final appeals for support ahead of Sunday's presidential runoff vote following an acrimonious face-to-face debate.

🇵🇱 Poland chooses US to build its first nuclear power plant

Poland has chosen the US government and Westinghouse to build the central European country’s first nuclear power plant, part of an effort to burn less coal and gain greater energy independence.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Twitter that Poland would use the “reliable, safe technology” of the Westinghouse Electric Company for the plant in Pomerania province near the Baltic Sea coast. The exact location remains to be identified.

Poland is planning to spend $40 billion to build two nuclear power plants with three reactors each, the last one to be launched in 2043. The deal with the US and Westinghouse is for the first three reactors of the Pomerania plant, which officials say should start producing electricity in 2033.
