Ronaldo Caiado 2026 presidential campaign

Overview

Ronaldo Caiado, the PSD presidential candidate, has expanded his 2026 campaign platform, detailing stances on security, the economy, and judicial accountability.

On public security, Caiado has proposed creating a Ministry of Public Security and increasing state autonomy. He advocates for a transnational South American police force, similar to Europol, to combat organized crime, suggesting a force involving ten neighboring countries with authority for cross-border arrests. He has also classified criminal factions as ‘domestic terrorism’ and accused the current administration of allowing organizations like the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho (CV) to expand.

To address political polarization, Caiado has proposed a ‘broad, general, and unrestricted’ amnesty for those convicted in the January 8, 2023, attempted coup, including Jair Bolsonaro, to ‘pacify the country.’ He has called on the Supreme Federal Court to lift secrecy on investigations involving the INSS, Banco Master, and Operation Carbono Oculto, while defending the possibility of impeaching ministers to address perceived undemocratic conduct.

Economically, Caiado proposes a Constitutional Amendment to cap government spending growth at inflation plus a maximum of 50% of the GDP. He intends to review tax reforms and administrative structures to reduce costs. His platform includes dissolving certain state-owned enterprises to reduce government size and “strangle the excesses of tax incentives that only favor certain groups.” He also plans to review mandatory parliamentary amendments. While supporting a review of the 6x1 work week to protect small businesses, he remains focused on protecting the minimum wage, Social Security acquired rights, and constitutional floors for health and education.
