Flávio Roscoe and Ellen Miziara launched as PL candidates for Minas Gerais
The Liberal Party (PL) has officially launched Flávio Roscoe and Ellen Miziara as its candidates for the governorship of Minas Gerais for the 2026 elections. The announcement event in Belo Horizonte featured presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, who is intensifying his campaign presence in the state.
During his campaign activities, Flávio Bolsonaro addressed several key policy proposals. He advocated for a security model inspired by El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele, which includes creating 500,000 new prison vacancies, doubling federal prisons, and establishing a 'narcoterrorist' criminal classification with heavy minimum sentences. He also expressed his intention to negotiate the state's debt with the next Minas Gerais governor, regardless of political affiliation.
In terms of economic policy, Bolsonaro highlighted the strategic importance of mining in Minas Gerais, proposing more flexible environmental licensing for rare minerals to generate wealth.
Due to poor weather conditions and low visibility, a scheduled motorcycle rally and political event in Juiz de Fora were canceled, though Bolsonaro proceeded to his scheduled commitments in Belo Horizonte.
