The Avante candidate for President, Augusto Cury, conditioned his support for Bolsonaro (PL) on proof that he is not involved in corruption in the Dark Horse operation, which investigates suspected embezzlement of funds. Cury completely ruled out supporting President Lula (PT) in a potential second round, citing education indicators and increases in feminicides and family debt as reasons for this decision.
The writer and psychologist Augusto Cury appears consolidated in third place in the presidential race, with 8% of voting intentions according to the latest Quaest poll. This position makes him a disputed figure by the two main candidacies, both from Lula and Jair Bolsonaro.
Cury's statements were made after a meeting with representatives of an investment manager from Faria Lima, São Paulo's financial center. Cury's support is considered valuable due to his strategic position in the race.
The Dark Horse operation, launched hours earlier by the Federal Police, investigates suspected embezzlement of funds, which led Cury to establish this condition for potential support for Bolsonaro.
