Is Augusto Cury right-wing or left-wing?

Augusto Cury, a presidential candidate for the Avante party, states he does not identify with either the right or the left, seeking to present himself as a center figure. The writer has made criticism of polarization one of the main messages of his campaign, arguing that problems such as violence, education, and unemployment do not have an "ideological color."

Cury participated in a debate organized by TV Bandeirantes, alongside Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) and Renan Santos (Missão). During the event, he criticized the polarization of Brazilian society and expressed dissatisfaction with the absences of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), as well as Romeu Zema (Novo), who also did not attend.

The article mentions that Cury experienced a digital boom, gaining 2 million followers in one week and setting search records, although rivals view this movement as artificial. In the assessment of the grilling session, his diagnosis of Brazil's problems is convincing, but the proposed remedy is not.
