Senator Sergio Moro has decided to leave União Brasil and join PL to run for Paraná governor in the 2026 elections, backed by Flávio Bolsonaro's party. The move breaks PL's alliance with Governor Ratinho Jr. and aims to secure a strong stage for the presidential candidate in the state.

A rally against President Lula and STF ministers took place on Avenida Paulista in São Paulo on Sunday (March 1, 2026), organized by Deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG). The event, attended by Flávio Bolsonaro and other opposition leaders, drew an estimated 20,000 participants and was dismissed by government allies as a failure. Inflammatory speeches targeted Alexandre de Moraes and Dias Toffoli amid electoral tensions.

São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas highlighted the march led by Deputy Nikolas Ferreira as a courageous movement that gathered 18,000 people in Brasília. The bolsonarista act solidified Ferreira as a national PL electoral arm for the 2026 elections. Lula's government aides downplay the mobilization, linking it to distractions from scandals.
