Augusto Cury attracts voters tired of polarization and plays the role that Marina, Ciro and Tebet had, says analyst

BBC News Brasil31 August 2026 at 16:09

Candidate Augusto Cury is attracting voters tired of political polarization, according to analysis by Professor Pablo Ortellado from USP. Cury occupies a position in the political spectrum similar to what Marina Silva, Ciro Gomes and Simone Tebet had in previous elections, functioning as an alternative for those who do not identify with the two main candidates.

Pablo Ortellado commented on Cury's chances in the first round of the elections. The analysis seeks to explain how the candidate can influence an eventual second round, considering his potential to attract votes from voters dissatisfied with the majority options.

The analyst also sought to explain what may have led to Augusto Cury's sudden growth in electoral polls. The phenomenon is analyzed in the context of part of the electorate's search for alternatives outside the traditional polarization between the leading candidates.

The article presents Pablo Ortellado's perspective on the strategic role that Cury may play in the electoral scenario, both in the initial phase of the campaign and in a possible second-round dispute, should he advance to that stage of the election.

The decree by Getúlio Vargas that handed Olga Prestes over to Adolf Hitler, 90 years ago

90 years ago, on August 28, 1936, President Getúlio Vargas signed a decree ordering the deportation of Olga Benário Prestes, a German activist from a Jewish family and wife of communist leader Luiz Carlos Prestes, to Nazi Germany. Olga had been arrested months earlier, in March, during a police operation with more than 90 agents, in a building in the Cachambi neighborhood, in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Despite being pregnant with Prestes' child and being his legitimate wife, nothing prevented Vargas's decision, who was aware of the situation of Jews in Germany, where the Nuremberg Laws, enacted in 1935, had already stripped this population of various rights.
