Pernambuco pre‑candidate João Campos tours Bom Conselho, pledges health and accessibility agenda

João Campos, the PSB pre‑candidate for the governorship of Pernambuco, visited the interior town of Bom Conselho to continue his "Anota Aí" project, which aims to keep a "microphone open" for citizens. During the tour he stressed that health policy should have no partisan flag, citing the recent delivery of fully accessible vans and buses to 70 municipalities under President Lula’s administration. Campos highlighted the creation of eight specialized centers for children with autism spectrum disorder and Down syndrome, which together provide around 28,000 consultations per month, and illustrated his message with the story of a local child, "little Daniel," to underline the need for human‑centered care. He also paid tribute to the region’s political legacy, recalling figures such as Eduardo Campos, Miguel Arraes and former governor Dantas Barreto, and affirmed his intent to build a government proposal rooted in the people’s sentiment.

In a separate political note, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva posted a video on social media wishing the Brazil national team luck ahead of the 2026 World Cup opening match in New Jersey.
