Paraná right‑wing coalition rallies ahead of 2026 Senate race

The president of the Paraná Regional Electoral Court, Luciano Carrasco Falavinha Souza, barred the Instituto Veritá from releasing a poll for the 2026 elections, citing unclear sampling sources and a breach of TSE Resolution 23.600/2019.

Former federal prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol announced his pre‑candidacy for the Senate, asserting his eligibility despite a 2023 TSE ruling that blocked his earlier mandate. He outlined a platform of measures to curb Supreme Court power, fight crime and corruption, and warned of a fiscal crisis under the current government.

Federal deputy Filipe Barros (PL‑PR), also a Senate hopeful, was reported to have paid for a negative video targeting the PT, Lula and allies. The content, posted nine days before the official campaign period, may violate TSE rules on paid political propaganda and could result in fines if deemed illegal.

Senator and gubernatorial pre‑candidate Sergio Moro visited Apucarana, emphasizing the city’s logistics potential and the importance of the apparel sector. He promoted technical‑vocational education, tougher security measures, and reforms to road concessions and anti‑corruption oversight.

Together, these developments illustrate the coordination of Paraná’s right‑wing figures as they prepare for the upcoming Senate election.
