Brazilian political candidates intensify regional campaigns

Political candidates in Brazil are intensifying their campaigns across various regions. In the Distrito Federal, Governor Celina Leão is campaigning for reelection, focusing on infrastructure projects like metro expansion, economic stability without tax increases, and defending the Constitutional Fund of the DF against potential budget cuts.

In Acre, candidate Mailza Assis is conducting large-scale mobilizations, including carreatas and rallies in Rodrigues Alves, Sena Madureira, and Rio Branco, to strengthen support for the second round of elections. Meanwhile, in Tocantins, candidate Vicentinho met with the innovation sector to discuss modernizing state management through technology and artificial intelligence.

Economic discussions also include the potential impact of the upcoming 'sin tax' (Imposto Seletivo) in 2027, which is expected to affect importers' cash flow and pricing for products like alcohol and tobacco.
