Renan Santos explica propostas polêmicas e os limites de um eventual governo; veja a íntegra

"2026 elections on TMC."

"Eight oh five, on the dot, reinforcing our commitment."

"With you, we continue our series of candidate interviews, interviews with candidates for the Presidency of the Republic on our TMC 360."

"We're already here: me, Filipe Bueno, Jona Treptow, our two commentators, Bruno Rizzi, Wilson Pedroso, whom I greet right away."

"Remember that, in this commitment, in this TMC 360 segment, we give equal space to all interviewees."

"Forty minutes for them to lay out their ideas, so we can ask the questions that interest you most."

"So, let's go."

"He founded the MBL, the movement that gained national prominence during the protests for Dilma Rousseff's impeachment."

"More than a decade later... he helped transform that political base into the Missão party and is now, yes, running for the Presidency of the Republic."

"His running mate is retired Military Police Lieutenant Colonel Haroldo Medina, and he recently presented a government plan of approximately 500 pages, the Yellow Book."

"We'll now speak with the Missão's candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, Renan Santos."

"Welcome, it's a pleasure to have you here with us again in our studio."

"Thank you very much, it's an honor to be here with you, it'll be a pleasure—feel free to ask whatever you want."

"Except about my football team, São Paulo, which isn't going through a great period."

"Wow, that can't even be brought up—soon it won't even make the news."

"That's not even a topic, but..."

"I think it's disappeared."

"It's disappeared, right?"

"Candidate, I'd like to start by talking about your performance in the debate."

"Monitoring by Palver, which is the institute that MBL itself likes to use to look at the voting intention survey, shows there were 38% favorable mentions regarding your name on the internet."

"But despite the... a fall in positive mentions and in the confidence you have precisely as exposure increases."

"So I wanted to ask if there is a risk that the strategy that made you go viral and that produced this rise in mentions and also in aggressiveness—which you yourself admitted to having been a protagonist of in the debate and in some lives you did,"

"could it also be what may make it difficult to win the trust of the public that is not yet your voter?"

About: position oneself as a centrist candidate focused on economic policies

"No, no, that's exactly what I wanted."

"Indeed, the Palvel poll captures that, because, look, I attacked Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro practically equally; I think I attacked Lula a little more."

"So naturally, Lula's voters and Flávio's voters on social networks reacted to that—it's a provocation."

"When I have 38% approval for what I did, I have won voters in the polls."

"The Pauver one gives me, for example, 10% in voting intentions."

"Therefore, I opened up a very large audience in that process."

"Remember that to go to the second round you don't have to have 50% of the voters."

"I would win in the first round."

"I need to have more than Flávio."

"And 38% would certainly be in the second round."

"So I clearly opened up a completely new audience."

"Being rejected by Lula's voters and the diehard voters, the most passionate bolsonarism supporters, was in our plan."

About: maintain an authentic message without seeking to please opposing voters

"I'm not there to please those who aren't going to vote for me."

"Thinking about that virtual audience, which is a fluid audience, we can say, you know it well, this suggests that the campaign will continue in that vein."

"Or do you intend to moderate, depending on what happens along the way until October?"

About: maintain a frank and spontaneous message in the campaign

"I think I'll do—I'll be poetic—I'll do what my heart tells me."

"It's a campaign that... it's about me constantly committing 'sincericides'."
