The advertising executive Sergio Lima, who previously worked with Jair Bolsonaro, took over Augusto Cury's presidential campaign this month. Lima is responsible for the marketing strategy of Cury's candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic.

To the column, Lima stated that the candidate is euphoric with his growth in the electoral polls. According to the campaign strategist, he had been projecting this advance by Augusto Cury, but nobody believed in the possibility, even within the campaign itself.

The advertising executive revealed that the growth projections were met with skepticism both by the political market and by the campaign team. Even with data indicating a possible rise in voting intentions, the scenario was considered unlikely by many.

The Lula government reserved R$ 44.8 billion for parliamentary amendments in the 2027 Annual Budget Bill (PLOA), an increase of R$ 4 billion compared to the proposal for 2026. The amount is expected to be higher after Congressional approval, since in 2026, R$ 40.8 billion was reserved, but the approved amount reached R$ 50 billion. Mandatory amendments are those the government is obligated to pay, while non-mandatory ones depend on available space in the Budget. There are three types of amendments: individual, from state delegations, and from committees, each with its own rules for distribution and application.
