The candidate for Federal Deputy by the PL party, Major Costa Araújo, participated in an interview in which he defended gun ownership and criticized the Lula government. During the interview, he mentioned having been imprisoned in the Army, a account he used to reinforce his stance on public security.

Costa Araújo also expressed support for the Bolsonaro family during the interview. The PL candidate addressed topics such as security, health, and production in the northeastern semi-arid region, areas he intends to prioritize if elected to the Federal Chamber.

The politician is seeking a seat in the Chamber of Deputies for the northeastern state, a region known for its semi-arid area that faces specific challenges in areas such as agricultural production and access to healthcare. His campaign emphasizes proposals to address these local problems.

Why this matters

Whether elected or not, candidates with military backgrounds who defend armamentization and criticize the federal government influence the debate on public security and social policies in the northeastern semi-arid region, an area that faces specific challenges in health and production.
