Writer and presidential candidate Augusto Cury published this Friday a "letter to the Brazilian nation" on his social media, accompanied by a video. In the material, the presidential hopeful positions himself as the third-way candidate capable of breaking the political polarization that, according to him, "has been suffocating Brazil for over 10 years."
Cury stated that "they said it was impossible" to break through the bubble and end the polarization, but highlighted that his rise in the polls happened "practically without money, without a political machine, without a platform." The candidate scored 10% in the latest Quaest poll, which he interprets as the result of a people tired of being forced to choose between two sides that represent neither.
Throughout the video, the writer and businessman defended believing in the "best of capitalism," which he summarizes as "freedom to entrepreneurship, work, produce, prosper, have meritocracy." He also mentioned his human side, referring to his "physician's heart."
