Augusto Cury proposes STF reforms and semi-presidentialism

Augusto Cury, the presidential candidate for the Avante party, has outlined several key proposals during recent campaign activities and interviews. Cury intends to reform the Supreme Federal Court (STF) by replacing life tenure with eight-year mandates and ensuring at least two female ministers are appointed to the court.

Regarding governance, Cury advocates for a transition from a presidential system to a semi-presidential model, suggesting that a prime minister should handle daily management while the president focuses on strategic matters. He has also expressed support for a 5x2 work week to address worker burnout.

On social and economic policy, Cury proposes modifying the Bolsa Família program to allow beneficiaries to maintain support for a transition period after finding employment or starting a micro-business. He also pledged to completely distance himself from his private business interests if elected to ensure no personal advantage is taken from the office. Cury reported a personal wealth of R$ 242.2 million to the Electoral Court.
