Political activity in Brazil is intensifying as the 2026 election cycle enters its final stages. Presidential candidates are ramping up public agendas through rallies, interviews, and regional visits. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has focused his efforts in the North and Northeast, participating in events in Belém and Manaus. In Belém, his campaign drew large crowds where he promised expanded access to healthcare, including specialist consultations, modern diagnostics, and the use of robotic surgery for prostate cancer treatment. He also addressed infrastructure and environmental issues, pledging to complete the BR-163 highway to Santarém and stating there would be no dredging in the Tapajós River. Additionally, Lula has advocated for the prohibition of betting services (bets) and expressed support for ending the 6x1 work schedule. During a speech in Belém, Lula drew criticism from Senator Damares Alves after making comments comparing men's resistance to prostate exams to women's experiences with gynecological exams; Alves labeled the remarks “disgusting” or “inappropriate.” In Fortaleza, Lula defended national sovereignty and criticized political figures who align too closely with foreign interests. Economic and fiscal management remain central pillars of the discourse. Ronaldo Caiado has advocated for fiscal restraint, proposing to limit mandatory spending growth to 50% of GDP growth and reducing discretionary spending by 25%. ~~Other candidates have expanded their regional presence: Augusto Cury met with vehicle rental industry representatives in São Paulo;~~ Recent polling data from Meio/Ideia indicates an extremely tight race between President Lula and Senator Flávio ~~Bolsonaro visited supporters~~ Bolsonaro.
