The writer and psychiatrist Augusto Cury, candidate for the Avante Party, surprised by reaching up to eleven percent in voting intentions in Brazilian elections. Political analyst Diego Sarza explained this phenomenon, highlighting that Cury rose in the polls and really surprised many people.
Cury's growth was mainly driven by voters tired of the political polarization between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the Bolsonaro family. This electorate was looking for alternatives outside the traditional political scene.
The Avante Party candidate managed to capitalize on this weariness with the established polarization, attracting votes from Brazilians unhappy with the two main political forces in the country.
