Candidates for the government of Minas Gerais held campaign events this Friday (25). The events took place in Belo Horizonte and in the interior of the state.

Candidate Augusto Cury, from Avante, started his campaign in Pernambuco, defending the export of green hydrogen, expansion of irrigation in the semi-arid region and attraction of international investments with legal security. In the evening, he participated in a service in Salvador, Bahia.

Candidate Renan Santos, from the Missão party, began his campaign agenda in the interior of São Paulo, passing through Franca, Uberaba and Uberlândia, where he defended a parametric pension reform with a minimum age adjusted to life expectancy, warning of the risk of fiscal collapse and an inflationary crisis if no changes were made.

The Brazilian government announced a ban on betting, with fines and prison sentences for offenders, giving bettors until October 5th to redeem balances. Industry associations warn of the growth of the illegal market. The Superior Council of the MP kept Paulo Gonet in the investigations into the Master case. The presidents of China and the US dined at the White House with AI leaders. The Pope visited France and called for stricter rules on AI. The Brazilian team drew with Australia after the World Cup.

Six candidates for the government of Rondônia completed campaign agendas this Friday (25), including meetings, interviews, walks and recordings in different municipalities in the state, such as Porto Velho, Jaru, Costa Marques, São Francisco do Guaporé, Ouro Preto do Oeste, Pimenta Bueno, Cacoal, Espigão do Oeste and Presidente Médici.

Flávio Bolsonaro, PL candidate for President, participated in the graduation of Rio de Janeiro Military Police officers, greeted graduates and their families, and announced that, if elected, he will declare war on narco-terrorists to recover territories outside State control.

Sports betting was legalized in 2018 by provisional measure by Michel Temer, with regulation expected by 2022. After delays and debates in the Bolsonaro government, the Lula government attempted to regulate the sector in 2023, facing resistance over online gaming and restrictions on beneficiaries of social programs. Only in 2025 and 2026 were measures implemented such as a ban on betting for Bolsa Família and BPC beneficiaries, increased taxes, a self-exclusion tool and an ordinance with mandatory warnings and consumer protection.
