Xico Graziano wrote that Renan Santos led the MBL, founded the Missão party, presented proposals that he considered interesting for the country, and contested the elections with idealism. According to Graziano, ideological polarization consumed the energy of the campaign, and politicians rarely engaged in self-criticism after a defeat, preferring to attribute it to others or external factors. The author stated that Santos had launched good ideas but questioned whether Missão had been able to find fertile ground for them or if the proposals themselves hindered their realization. He also mentioned that the party's challenge continued to be formulating a development model without populism, based on economic freedom, technological education, and the empowerment of individuals, without public assistance that he called handouts or oversight of progressive agendas. He added that the model should include fighting organized crime and expressed hope that it would be viable in Brazil. #política #RenanSantos #ideologia (translated)
