Flávio Bolsonaro 2026 presidential platform

Overview

Flávio Bolsonaro, the Liberal Party (PL) candidate for the 2026 Brazilian presidential election, has detailed his government platform, ‘Para o Brasil vencer o atraso’ (For Brazil to overcome backwardness). The plan is organized into nine axes, including health, economy, public security, and judicial reform.

In the health sector, Bolsonaro proposes reforms to the Unified Health System (SUS) to expand preventive exams, increase immunization, and boost national vaccine production using artificial intelligence to identify high-risk patients. His economic platform emphasizes economic liberalism, aiming to simplify the tax system, reduce bureaucracy, and utilize privatizations or concessions for state-owned companies to mitigate fiscal deficits. To control public sector payroll, he proposes intensive digitalization to prioritize resources for health, education, and infrastructure.

Security remains a central pillar. Bolsonaro advocates for harsher penalties, increased police resources, greater legal security for law enforcement, and the right to self-defense. His proposals include creating 500,000 new prison slots, implementing minimum eight-year sentences for cell phone thieves, and eliminating parole benefits to prevent prisons from becoming ‘schools of crime.’ These measures are inspired by El Salvador’s crackdown on organized crime. During a security congress in São Paulo, El Salvador’s Minister of Justice Gustavo Villatoro highlighted that his country’s homicide impunity dropped from 97% to zero under a constitutional state of exception.

This approach is gaining traction; in Paraná, gubernatorial candidate Sergio Moro announced a new maximum-security prison named ‘Presídio El Salvador’ featuring individual cells and signal blocking. However, prosecutor Lincoln Gakiya warned that mass incarceration without strict judicial individualization could lead to a population of 4 million and inadvertently strengthen criminal factions like the PCC.
