TV Folha broadcasts special live programming about the 2026 elections

TV Folha will broadcast this Sunday (4), starting at 5pm, a special live program about the 2026 elections. Journalists and columnists from Folha will analyze the electoral race, the results of the vote and comment on its developments, exploring topics such as the economy, religion and the challenges of the next government.

All videos will be broadcast on this page and on Folha's YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/folha).

In the first block, at 5pm, the presenter of C-Level in São Paulo Flávia Lima talks about the future of business in Brazil. The panel includes special reporters André Borges, Joana Cunha, Alexa Salomão and the founder of Petz, Sergio Zimerman.

Recent reporting shows that investors see little difference on the fiscal front between the two main candidates, with the country's debt likely to continue to rise regardless of the winner.

At around 6pm, special reporter Fernando Canzian and Flávia Lima welcome columnists Adriana Fernandes, Laura Greenhald, Sergio Vale and Vinicius Torres Freire to talk about the economy. Mariana Carneiro, Editorial Secretary in Brasília, also participates in the meeting.

The economic policy of the current government was one of Flávio's targets in his attempt to defeat President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), who appeared at an advantage in all surveys carried out by Datafolha.

Afterwards, at around 7:50 pm, Fernanda Mena talks with special reporter Anna Virginia Balloussier and columnists Juliano Spyer and Rodrigo Toniol about the influence of religion in this election. The table also includes pastor Ed Rene Kivitz.

On the eve of the first round, fake news circulated that Flávio Bolsonaro, PL candidate for President, was committed to removing Our Lady of Aparecida as patron saint of Brazil. The candidate had already declared in August that, if elected, one of his first acts would be to "decree that Brazil belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ".

The program will also feature entries from Folha correspondents Catarina Scortecci, from Curitiba (PR), João Pedro Pitombo, from Salvador (BA), Gabriel Araújo, from Belo Horizonte (MG) and Italo Nogueira, from Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

The last panel of the night reveals some of the names of those elected in the first round across the country. At around 9:15 pm, special reporters Flávia Lima and Fernando Canzian receive Bruno Boghossian, director of the Brasília Branch, Fábio Zanini, editor of the Panel, and columnists Mônica Bergamo and Priscilla Bacalhau.

State elections can be defined in the first round in at least 14 Federation Units, according to Quaest and Datafolha surveys released in the last two weeks.
