Voters want proposals, but this is a campaign of confrontation, as in the work issue

oglobo2 September 2026 at 16:05

According to Quaest survey, 45% of voters point to candidates' proposals as the most decisive factor in defining their vote. The candidate's ideology is decisive for only 17% of those surveyed, while 14% consider television performance relevant.

However, the article points out that this presidential campaign should not be marked by proposals, but rather by a dispute of ideas and, above all, by a confrontation between candidates. This is a campaign of confrontation, not of proposals.

The survey reveals a paradox: although voters say they value proposals, the campaign scenario suggests that the confrontation between candidates should predominate over programmatic discussion.

Presidential candidate Fernando Haddad (PT), on a campaign stop in Santos (SP), was questioned about President Lula's silence in the case involving Banco Master and the so-called "Dark Horse scandal," but did not comment directly. Without answering the question about Lula, Haddad defended breaking the secrecy of all processes without selectivity, including the case of Flavinho Bolsonaro and that of Daniel Vorcaro himself, one of those involved in the scandal. The PT candidate criticized the fact that only some are publicly exposed while others remain under secrecy, noting that Lula is the only presidential candidate who has not yet spoken out about the case. The article also mentions that Flavinho Bolsonaro again requested Moraes' impeachment, while Fachin opened a session at the STF without mentioning the crisis involving Alexandre de Moraes and Vorcaro.
