Brazilian election candidates Zoe Martínez and Natália Boulos spotlight finances and ideological clash

City councilor Zoe Martínez, a candidate for Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies from São Paulo, saw her declared net worth rise 226 % between 2024 and 2026, climbing from R$646,361 to R$2.1 million. The increase stems from dividends, long‑term investment funds, fixed‑income assets and a real‑estate investment fund, according to the electoral court’s records.

Lawyer Natália Boulos, running for federal deputy with the PSOL party, told a TV Forum program that the 2026 presidential election will be “strategic,” framing the contest as a battle between a left‑wing sovereignty project and an “extreme‑right” delivery‑oriented agenda. She highlighted misogyny as a feature of the right‑wing platform and described Brazil as a “bastion of resistance” in Latin America.
