Brazil: Right-wing top-voted deputies outspend left 2:1 on Meta ads

In Brazil's 2026 federal deputy election, the ten most-voted right-wing candidates spent R$5.3 million on Meta ads versus R$2.6 million by left-wing counterparts, per Agência Pública. The spending disparity suggests a strategic emphasis on digital outreach by the right, though the electoral impact remains unclear. This reflects broader political polarization and campaign finance patterns in Brazil.
