Silvia Abravanel, daughter of TV host Silvio Santos, formalized her affiliation with Brazil's PSD party on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 24, 2026. The party, led by Gilberto Kassab, will back her run for federal deputy in upcoming elections, as reported earlier by Veja magazine's Gente column. Speaking to party members and supporters, Abravanel described the journey to her decision. 'Wow, what happened here, the sensitivity [...] started with a realization. It grew and grew inside me [...] first and foremost because God wants me here. And I know I have a lot to offer, a lot to contribute to the population,' she said. The former SBT executive highlighted her family background from 'a family of many women, with strong backs,' but stressed she brings her own value. Abravanel noted meeting Kassab and the party family – referring to PSD, though mentioning PSB in the speech. The move comes amid Brazil's electoral calendar, with party-switching windows open.
