Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

President Lula and Senate President Davi Alcolumbre are arranging a second meeting for early next week, potentially on Monday, December 10. This follows an initial encounter that was described as positive after several months of no communication. While the first meeting served to restore their relationship without discussing specific topics, the upcoming session is intended to address the government's priority agendas.
Key items for discussion include a project regarding critical minerals and various Provisional Measures currently stalled in the National Congress. Lula is also expected to seek attention for a Constitutional Amendment Proposal (PEC) to end the 6x1 work schedule. Although the proposal requires Alcolumbre's dispatch to begin processing, government sources admit privately that it is unlikely to be voted on before the elections.
Additionally, the president is expected to discuss the nomination of Jorge Messias to the Supreme Federal Court. Lula intends to nominate his ally again, though he is still weighing whether to do so before or after the elections. Allies of the president indicate that Lula is now more disposed to resolve these pending issues quickly.
