Brazil 2026 campaign sees political violence every 37 hours, survey finds

A 17-day monitoring by Pública recorded 11 cases of political violence during the 2026 campaign, implying a rate of one incident every 37 hours, with security agents as most aggressors. The data is based on a single source and limited window, so the true scale is uncertain. This signals elevated political tension and potential for further incidents as the campaign progresses.
