Brazil votes in municipalities for suspense in São Paulo with Pablo Marçal

Brazilians voted in their country (6) among their prefects and governors, old in São Paulo, with the influencer Pablo Marçal (PRTB), lawyer practicing disinformation, who became a serio candidate for the prefecture.

Ahead of the 2026 presidential elections, the vote will mediate as a force of election and law of the country, personified respectively by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro (PL).

Nearly 156 million voters were invited to vote at that time for the country to experience a record of floral fires and a historic era, vinculated by climate change specialists. No, the theme of the ambient environment is at the center of two debates.

In São Paulo, the duel between prefect Ricardo Nunes (MDB), alias of Bolsonaro, and Guilherme Boulos (PSOL), supported by Lula, led to an argument with the “foreigner” Pablo Marçal.

The trio is technically empatado on the voting intentions: 29% for Boulos and 26% for Nunes and Marçal, during the second research of the Instituto Datafolha on Saturday (5).

– Cocaine and medical authorization –

Disinformation is at the center of the municipal election campaign, within the framework of the social network X, which has been accused of disseminating information since August 31.

“People cannot allow them to vote misinformed,” Lula said at this home, after voting in São Bernardo do Campo, our arredores of São Paulo.

Marçal, a popular 37-year-old ultraconservative influencer, has gained popularity with a provocative style that appeals to many Bolsonaristas.

In September, during a debate on TV Cultura, Marçal was named president of José Luiz Datena (PSDB), the 67th.

In the most recent episode, on Saturday, the electoral justice determined the 48-hour suspension of his profile on Instagram, after it was published by an alleged doctor who indicated that Boulos could consume cocaine.

At the same time, the Supreme Federal Court (STF) yesterday asked for explanations within 24 hours using the X platform.

“Under the main digital actor in the country”, vangloria-se Marçal, who acts as a “persecution” of justice to “accelerate the process” for life.

In the Jardim Paulista, in the district of São Paulo, Edson Borges Lopes declares that vote for Marçal because he is not in favor of the “system” of communism. Second, the middle “comes together to fight” is a camp, says the 61-year-old computer technician.

Student Giulia Bisognim, 27, deplored for herself “a very aggressive campaign, without respect for the main candidates”, due to the vote in the quarter of the candidates, Tabata Amaral.

– ‘A mark of will lie’ –

After voting, Boulos also said “this was not a normal election.”

“People saw the mark of the mentality, of the man, because São Paulo has nothing to do with it,” said the candidate, who had the strong apoio of Lula in a comic on Avenida Paulista on SATURDAY.

The psoloist, who lost four years during a second dispute with the prefecture of São Paulo, “is a man of Lula. “This is an eleito prefect of the largest city in the country, which will be a big city for the president,” Mayra Goulart, a political scientist at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, told AFP.

Bolsonaro, for his part, asked Alexandre Ramagem (PL) to try to prevent prefect Eduardo Paes (PSD) from going to the first round.

Ramagem was investigated for alleged illegal espionage by politicians and other figures when he led the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) during Bolsonaro’s administration (2019-2022).

– A sombra commits a crime –

In a second opinion session, 11 of the 26 leaders were able to define their prefect in their ballot box, which was announced at 5 p.m. Brasilia time.

If the candidate did not vote but the metad of votes, the controversy will be decided in the second half of the time, on October 27.

“These municipal elections are very important for the definition of 2026, because they perceive the relevance of local actors (…) who are in direct contact with voters and can come closer to the election of a presidential candidate, who does not does not allow them to pass through the municipality,” says Goulart.

However, there are certainties: Lula should strive to enter the battle, while Bolsonaro was declared ineligible until 2030 for having proven the electoral system, while the ex-president confided that he should have overturned his conviction.

More than 23,000 military personnel deployed logistical efforts and reinforced security in 5,500 cities and voted, on either side of the greater presence of organized crime in the elections, second as authorities.

During the last week, three candidates for the position of forum agent murdered, according to the local company.
