Cury sends a hug to Mendonça and calls for transparency at STF

The presidential candidate Augusto Cury (Avante) said on Monday (7.Sep.2026) that he would send a “very special hug” to the minister André Mendonça, of the Supremo Tribunal Federal, during the 7 September event in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. The statement was made at the end of the speech, on top of an electric trio, in front of supporters who participated in the “Walk of Independence Cury Brazil”.

“Before I finished, I wanted to send a very special hug to Dr. André Mendonça,” Cury said. The speech drew attention because it occurred at a time of tension between the judiciary and political sectors, but the presidential candidate later stated that he was not taking sides among members of the Supreme Court.

Independence to investigate without sparing anyone

Questioned after the act, Cury stated that Mendonça and the president of the Court, Edson Fachin, must have independence to conduct investigations. According to the candidate, the performance of the STF must be guided by exemption and technical rigor, without favors or persecutions.

“In STF [Supremo Tribunal Federal] no one should be spared. It has to be investigated, and if no guilt is proven, they are free. But if there is, there must be condemnation,” he said. The phrase reinforces Cury’s campaign speech, which presents itself as an alternative to the polarization between President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ).

The candidate avoided commenting on specific cases before the Court, but argued that transparency and speed of trials are essential to regain the confidence of the population in the justice system. The source did not detail whether Cury intends to make formal proposals on the functioning of the STF in his government plan.

The Copacabana event brings together 1,400 people

The “Cury Brazil Independence Walk” travelled along the edge of Copacabana, from Post 6 to Post 5. Cury spoke in an electric trio and again presented himself as an alternative to the polarization between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro. The event was a civic celebration, with flags of Brazil and shouts of support for the candidate.

The demonstration was attended by 1,400 people at the time of the largest public, according to an estimate by the Monitor of the Political Debate of the USP and Cebrap (Brazilian Center for Analysis and Planning), in partnership with the organization More in Common. The count was made from aerial images analyzed by software. The number is modest compared to the acts of candidates with a larger party structure, but indicates an engaged base of supporters.

During the speech, Cury reinforced the need to unite the country around concrete guidelines such as job generation, public security and education. He did not mention party alliances or names of possible vice presidents, limiting himself to defending his candidacy as a viable third way.

Criticisms of Lula and Flavio on agriculture

The candidate also criticized Lula and Flavio when talking about agriculture. He said the two “never planted a garden” and yet want to define the future of the sector. The speech was greeted with applause from those present, many of them linked to agribusiness or to movements of rural producers.

Cury argued that agricultural policies should be formulated with the participation of those who live in the countryside, and not only by politicians who are unaware of the reality of planting and harvesting. He advocated incentives for family farming and sustainable production, without detailing goals or deadlines. The source did not detail whether the candidate submitted industry-specific numbers or proposals.

The criticism of the two opponents reinforces Cury’s strategy of placing himself as an outsider, distant from the groups that dominate national politics in recent decades. The candidate has been using social media to expand the reach of his speeches, but still faces the challenge of becoming known outside of specific niches.

Next steps of the campaign

After the act in Rio, Cury’s campaign should continue to other capitals, focusing on street events and meetings with local leaders. The source did not detail the official agenda for the coming days, but advisers indicated that the candidate intends to intensify the presence in southern and southeastern states, where he seeks to expand his electoral base.

Cury’s performance in intent polls is still timid, but the candidate bets on gradual growth, especially among voters dissatisfied with the polarization. The statement on the STF may generate backers and critics alike, but it reinforces the position of independence that Cury tries to consolidate.

For the reader of Ponta Grossa and Campos Gerais, Cury’s candidacy can influence the national scenario and, consequently, the public policies that affect the region, such as investments in infrastructure and support for agribusiness. The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to follow the unfolding of the campaign and will bring new information as it becomes available.
