Various live interviews with gubernatorial candidates are taking place this week in several parts of Brazil, particularly in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, and Santa Catarina. In Rio, Garotinho from the Republicanos was the first interviewed in the series broadcast by RJ1, where he advocated for tax incentive cuts and presented the 'Bope 2.0' public security program. The interviews can be watched live and later on the digital platforms of TV Globo and g1.

In Santa Catarina, Jornal do Almoço has started its series of interviews, with Jorginho Mello from the PL being the first to be interviewed. The program, airing daily, lasts 30 minutes and is simultaneously broadcast across all editions of the news program. More interviews are scheduled, including João Rodrigues from the PSD, who was interviewed this Tuesday, along with other candidates throughout the week.

In Minas Gerais, Flávio Roscoe from the PL was the first candidate interviewed on MG1. The series will continue with other candidates, including Alexandre Kalil from the PDT and Patrus Ananias from the PT, who will also participate in the interviews in the coming days. The discussions focus on various topics related to public administration and current political affairs.

In Piauí, PITV 1 is conducting interviews with the gubernatorial candidates, starting with Rafael Fonteles from the PT, while Joel Rodrigues from the PP is expected to be interviewed next. The broadcasts reflect the latest voter intention polls.

In Rio Grande do Norte, Álvaro Dias from the PL, who is also campaigning, promised to increase state revenue and strengthen investments in health and education during his appearance on Inter 1, from Inter TV Cabugi.

Finally, Eduardo Paes, the PSD candidate for the government of Rio de Janeiro, also participated in the series of interviews scheduled for this week. He addressed pertinent issues such as public security and education during his appearance on RJ1.
