A candidate presenting himself as a "pacifista" has gained attention in Brazil's political landscape. Augusto Cury, a writer and psychiatrist, is running for president with the small party Avante. He aims to be a unifying figure in a divided country.

Cury's rise comes amidst a crisis affecting the Supremo Tribunal Federal and investigations involving the top presidential candidates. His campaign has advanced despite initially flying under the radar.

Further analysis of Cury's campaign and the current state of Brazilian politics is available from Iuri Pitta, CNN en Español.
