Analysis: Municipal elections expose split on the right | Blogs

Next Sunday’s municipal election has already served to expose what was previously only behind the scenes: the division on the Brazilian right.

A wing of Bolsonaroism began to bet on a solo flight and not follow Bolsonaro’s guidelines.

If he, for example, supports Ricardo Nunes (MDB) in São Paulo, this wing goes to Pablo Marçal (PRTB).

If he approaches the center parties, this wing moves away from them.

If he prioritizes amnesty on January 8th, this wing prioritizes the impeachment of Alexandre de Moraes.

It is not yet clear where this movement will lead in 2026. But the left is already celebrating.
