Concern over corruption advances for second consecutive Quaest poll after Supreme Court crisis and Master case

oglobo14 September 2026 at 14:15

The Quaest poll published on Monday showed that voters' concern with corruption in Brazil has risen for the second consecutive survey after the Supreme Court (STF) crisis and the latest developments in the Master case. In this week's poll, 22% of the population named corruption as Brazil's biggest problem, compared to 20% on September 7 and 14% on September 2. The poll was commissioned by Grupo Globo, registered with the electoral justice system under code BR-03607/2026, with a margin of error of two percentage points and 95% confidence level. The Supreme Court's full bench begins on Tuesday a public session to decide on opening an investigation against Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The justices will review the Federal Police report originally directed to Justice André Mendonça.

Why this matters

Brazilian readers are closely following the growing concern over corruption, which may influence voter sentiment and voting intentions. The advance coincides with the crisis at the Supreme Court, a tribunal that judges electoral appeals and can directly impact the national political landscape. The decision on the Master case and the ruling on Moraes should intensify this debate in the coming weeks.

Gaia: Menezes surrounded by suspicions, "corruptions" and lawsuits

The municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia and its municipal companies are under intense judicial scrutiny due to multiple investigations into corruption, manipulation of public procurement and political favoritism. Operation "Águas Turvas" revealed alleged fraud schemes at Águas de Gaia company, with estimated damages of around eight million euros, leading to the preventive detention of former director José António Martins and contractor António Santos Mota. The former chairman of the board Miguel Lemos Rodrigues was formally charged with corruption, abuse of power and influence peddling, while former mayor Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues was made a defendant on suspicions of payments to Global Media for editorial conditioning. Alongside these investigations, questions arise about false academic qualifications of a municipal director, contested political appointments and Operation Babel, focused on urban licensing worth 300 million euros.
