Arcoverde councilwoman Célia Galindo (Podemos), a cancer survivor, announced her support for federal deputy Eduardo da Fonte (PP) as his pre‑candidate for the Senate. Galindo highlighted da Fonte’s work advancing women's health, citing his bill to expand free mammography for women aged 40 and up through the SUS and his efforts to channel funds to oncology hospitals in Pernambuco, including upgrades to the Hospital de Câncer de Pernambuco.

She said, “Quem venceu o câncer sabe que cada exame realizado no tempo certo e cada investimento na saúde podem salvar vidas. Eu vivi essa batalha e sei o quanto políticas públicas eficientes fazem a diferença na vida das pessoas.” Galindo pledged to back da Fonte if his candidacy is confirmed, emphasizing the need for continued investment in early diagnosis and treatment infrastructure.

The endorsement underscores ongoing political competition in Pernambuco ahead of upcoming Senate elections, with health policy serving as a central campaign theme.
