“Instead of creating a process where each person, each family member goes to the bank to try to renegotiate their own debt, here we have the Brazilian state, the federal government acquiring debt portfolios from financial institutions,” explained the Minister of Planning and Budget, Bruno Moretti, at a press conference. (translated)

"It is important to remember that Desenrola 3.0 is better than the other Desenrola. It is important to note this because, in the other Desenrola, people had to go to a bank. Now it is the government that will buy debt, and will set people's lives right." Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced a debt renegotiation program less than 10 days before the general elections, on the same day he banned sports betting and online casinos.

The Datafolha of today shows Lula 40% × Flávio 36% in the first round. In the second round, 47% × 45%, a difference within the margin of error of 2 percentage points. Back on September 23, 2022, Datafolha showed Lula with 47% and Jair Bolsonaro with 33% — a difference of 14 points. In the valid votes estimated by the institute at that time, it was 50% × 35%, a difference of 15 points. The historical data that draws attention In the ballot box for the first round of 2022, Lula finished with 48.43% and Jair Bolsonaro with 43.20%. Therefore, the effective difference was 5.23 points, according to the TSE. Thus, comparing only the distances: 09/23/2022 — Datafolha: Lula +14 10/02/2022 — ballot box: Lula +5.23 09/24/2026 — Datafolha: Lula +4 In other words, today’s Datafolha records a nominal distance 10 points smaller between Lula and Flávio than recorded between Lula and Jair Bolsonaro at practically the same point in the 2022 campaign. This is a factual comparison; it does not mean that the error of 2022 will repeat itself nor does it allow converting this difference into a prediction for the ballot box of 2026. (translated)

OFFICIAL NOTE The Mission Party expresses its deep disagreement with TV Globo's decision not to invite Renan Santos to the last presidential debate before the first round of the elections in 2026. Renan Santos has been appearing among the main candidates for the Presidency in various polls throughout the campaign. In the Atlas/Bloomberg polls released in July, Renan ranked third, with 7.8% of voting intentions. In September, two rounds of Palver again placed him in third place, this time with 11%. Still, Renan Santos is not among the four candidates invited by TV Globo to the debate on October 1st. The decision contrasts with the stance taken by the broadcaster itself in the 2022 elections. That year, SEVEN candidates participated in Globo's presidential debate: Lula, Jair Bolsonaro, Ciro Gomes, Simone Tebet, Soraya Thronicke, Felipe d'Avila, and Father Kelmon. Four years later, the broadcaster chose to restrict the debate to four candidacies, using the parliamentary representation criterion set forth in electoral legislation as a reference. The law establishes which candidates are guaranteed participation, but does not prevent the broadcaster from inviting other candidacies. For this reason, the Mission questions Globo's editorial choice to adopt precisely a criterion that excludes a candidacy that appears in third place in different recent polls. In the Mission's assessment, using only this criterion reduces the space for new political forces in Brazil's main presidential debate and makes it difficult for voters to have direct contact with candidacies that have been gaining space during the campaign. If in 2022 there was space for seven candidates, it is legitimate to question why, in 2026, the debate was limited to only four. The Mission defends transparency in defining the participants. The public debate should be a space to present ideas, confront proposals, and allow Brazilians to become acquainted with the candidacies vying for their vote. (translated)

"In this case, the strongest, in the sense of being more competitive, is the current President Lula, who has a lot of historical experience regarding political life in Brazil and who has a much greater, much deeper proximity to the progressive field." Brazilian composer and musician Gilberto Gil told Lusa that he hopes for Lula da Silva's victory in the presidential elections and associated Flávio Bolsonaro's political group with "a certain regression" in Brazil's life.

These were Globo's guests for the 2022 presidential debate. 7 candidates. SEVEN. In 2026, Globo decided to invite only 4: Lula, Flávio Bolsonaro, Augusto Cury, and Ronaldo Caiado. Renan Santos was left out. In the Palver poll released this week, Renan is in third place, with 11% of the voting intentions, ahead of Augusto Cury and Ronaldo Caiado. Even so, the two will be at the debate and Renan will not. Now, the question is: Why, in a presidential election, exclude a candidate who is ahead of two of the guests in a poll registered with the TSE? What does Globo gain from this? (translated)

Lula went to the UN to denounce foreign interference and took his own Brazilian election to the largest international stage on the planet. Just 12 days before the polls, he spoke of "democracy and denialism," sovereignty, and external threats. Minutes later, Donald Trump took the same podium defending practically the opposite: national sovereignty, American power, and direct confrontation with cartels. Hours later, 14 Latin American and Caribbean countries joined the United States in a regional articulation that includes PCC and Comando Vermelho among organizations considered narcoterrorist threats. In 2022, the TSE prohibited Jair Bolsonaro's campaign from using official images of his speech at the UN, arguing to preserve equality among candidates. Four years later, Lula not only went to the UN as president; he explicitly spoke about the election he himself is running in. Rhetorical question: will the standard from 2022 still apply in 2026? And, in light of all these contradictions, who is the true denialist? (translated)
