Developments: 2. The gubernatorial and legislative elections in Minas Gerais have entered a phase of strategic planning and political maneuvering. Candidates for governor have submitted official government plans, with a significant focus on public security. Proposals range from Patrus Ananias’s (PT) focus on intelligence and human rights to Alexandre Kalil’s (PDT) ‘Digital Wall’ and body camera implementation. Other candidates, such as Cleitinho, Flávio Roscoe, and Gabriel Azevedo, have proposed unifying databases and intelligence centers to combat organized crime and money laundering. Meanwhile, candidates including Indira Xavier and Henrique Áreas have advocated for more radical reforms, such as the de-militarization or extinction of the Military Police. Simultaneously, political alliances are forming to influence the Senate renewal. A movement known as the ‘Marécio’ alliance, promoting joint votes for Marília Campos (PT) and Aécio Neves (PSDB), has emerged to consolidate votes and prevent right-wing candidates from securing seats. This strategic battle is viewed as critical for institutional power, as the outcome could affect the Executive branch’s ability to govern and influence key state agency appointments. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-05: Minas Gerais political alliance seeks to block right-wing Senate candidates Political actors in Minas Gerais are promoting a joint PT and PSDB ticket for the Senate to counter right-wing candidates amid a major renewal of the Brazilian Senate. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/minas-gerais-political-alliance-seeks-to-block-right-wing-senate-candidates ### 2026-09-04: Minas Gerais gubernatorial candidates present security plans Governorship candidates in Minas Gerais have released public security plans ranging from digital surveillance and intelligence integration to the complete de-militarization of police forces. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/minas-gerais-gubernatorial-candidates-present-security-plans --- Cite as: Minas Gerais election developments.
