Garimpeiros and deforesters among candidates in Brazilian elections with environmental fines of 36 million euros

Correio da Manhã7 September 2026 at 10:30

A group of garimpeiros and deforesters are running in Brazilian elections as candidates, accumulating a total of 36 million euros in environmental fines. This amount refers to 524 environmental infraction notices issued against these candidates.

The situation raises questions about the compatibility between economic activities that cause negative environmental impact and political representation in Brazil. These candidates intend to hold elected positions in the upcoming elections.

The article does not specify which positions these candidates are running for or which parties they are registered with. Details about the geographic distribution of these environmental infractions are also not provided.

The information comes in a broader context of debate about environmentalism and environmental enforcement in Brazil, a country that houses the Amazon, one of the world's largest forest reserves.
