Renan Santos presidential campaign in Brazil

Overview

Renan Santos, the Missão party presidential candidate in Brazil, has introduced a platform centered on fiscal reform, security expansion, and significant shifts in national sovereignty. His early proposals included cutting public spending and tax incentives—specifically targeting the Manaus Free Zone—to fund the construction of up to 500,000 new prison places. He also advocated for constitutional amendments to desindex various revenues and the creation of a special tribunal for politicians to limit the Supreme Federal Court’s jurisdiction. As the campaign progressed, Santos expanded his platform to include the development of nuclear weapons to secure a seat on the UN Security Council. He acknowledged that Brazil likely lacks the immediate capacity to develop such weapons within ten years but emphasized the necessity of beginning research. He also suggested the potential withdrawal from the Non-Proliferation Treaty to increase Brazil's international influence. On domestic security, he proposed adopting El Salvador’s security model, including a “state of exception” in favelas and the implementation of “Enemy Criminal Law.” He suggested ending the presumption of innocence for those classified as “enemies of the nation” and stated he might refuse to comply with Supreme Federal Court decisions he deems “illegal.” His plans include building ten new federal prisons with capacities of up to 40,000 inmates each. His economic agenda includes social security reform to prevent system collapse and the unlinking of constitutional spending floors for health and education to manage public debt. Recent developments in his 2026 campaign include proposals to abolish the Labor Court (Justiça do Trabalho), shifting disputes to Civil Courts, and opposing the end of the 6x1 work schedule to maintain the 44-hour work week. In September 2026, Santos released a 51-page government plan detailing an urgent fiscal adjustment estimated at R$ 1.1 trillion by 2031.
