Tarcísio campaign chooses São Sebastião (SP) tragedy to debut electoral airtime

cbn27 August 2026 at 21:07

Tarcísio de Freitas's reelection campaign (Republicanos) chose the tragedy in São Sebastião, on the North Coast of São Paulo, to debut the free electoral airtime. The episode, which left 65 dead in February 2023 after heavy rains, will be used to highlight one of the administration's main flagships: housing. The advertisement will connect the tragedy to the government's deliverables, which built 704 homes in the Baleia Verde and Maresias complexes in 2024, with another 256 units under construction in Topolândia.
