Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva

Economy
Lula's government plan, filed with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), retains Brazil's existing fiscal framework, which limits real spending growth rather than proposing new cuts, and instead emphasizes raising revenue by taxing offshore holdings and closed-end investment funds and by widening income-tax exemptions for lower earners. The document frames this approach as ensuring "the poor are in the budget and the wealthy in income tax." The plan commits to continued real increases in the minimum wage above inflation, to ending the 6x1 work schedule in favor of a 40-hour week without reduced pay, to regulating pay and working conditions for app-based gig workers, and to directing the Nova Indústria Brasil program toward reindustrialization built around artificial intelligence, critical minerals, and domestic processing of raw materials before export. It also proposes a Desenrola Brasil debt-renegotiation program for consumers and expanded credit for small and micro enterprises.

Health
On health care, the plan commits to expanding the Farmácia Popular program beyond free medication to include free laboratory exams and diagnostic tests for common conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. It pledges to continue the Mais Médicos physician-placement program and to expand the Agora Tem Especialistas initiative, which the campaign credits with 15 million specialist procedures and surgeries performed in 2025. Additional commitments include expanding mental-health care through CAPS centers, continuing the Brasil Sorridente dental-care program, and building out a health-focused industrial complex intended to reduce reliance on imported medicines and equipment.

Agriculture/Food
The plan pledges continued credit and technical support for family farms, including targeted lines for young and women farmers and organic producers, and commits to directing 45% of school-meal purchases toward family agriculture with a goal that 80% of food served in schools be minimally processed. It calls for reviving government food-acquisition programs and maintaining strategic public grain reserves, alongside continued rural credit, machinery financing, and irrigation support for larger-scale agriculture, and for advancing land-reform settlements. The campaign cites Brazil's removal from the United Nations' hunger map during the current term as a benchmark it intends to sustain.

Security
Public-security proposals center on creating a standalone Ministry of Public Security, contingent on a constitutional amendment, to coordinate federal, state, and local police forces under a unified public-security system. The plan calls for measures to cut off organized crime's financing, expand enforcement against arms trafficking and cybercrime, and broaden the use of body cameras under national standards. It also commits to continuing the femicide-prevention pact and protective measures against violence toward women, to reforming prison conditions under the Pena Justa plan, and to expanding federal penitentiary capacity.

Education
The plan sets a target of 80% of children reading at the expected level by the end of the term, up from roughly two-thirds currently, and commits to expanding full-time public schooling and universal school internet access. It pledges to maintain the Pé-de-Meia stipend program for high-school students and to expand federal technical institutes into underserved regions, alongside continued investment in early-childhood daycare.

Infrastructure
Lula's plan continues the Novo PAC infrastructure program; government figures cited in coverage of the plan show more than 70% of the program's R$944.8 billion three-year allocation for the 2023-2026 cycle had been executed by late 2025, and the plan commits to a further cycle of investment in transportation, logistics, and public works.

Governance
On governance, the plan commits to maintaining and expanding racial-quota policies in public-sector hiring and public universities, accelerating land-title recognition for quilombo communities, and increasing Black representation in government decision-making. It pledges continued enforcement of equal-pay requirements for women, expansion of the Casas da Mulher Brasileira support-center network, and a broader National Care Policy that funds public laundries, community kitchens, and caregiver-training programs, alongside expanded participatory-budgeting mechanisms.
