"The system blocked political renewal," says the father of RenovaBR

Brazil is heading into an election with a very low level of renewal in Congress. According to a survey by Diap, 438 out of 513 federal deputies are seeking re-election, a record high since the country's redemocratization. The RenovaBR organization, which aims to promote new political leaders, has trained over 3,600 students, including several prominent politicians, and has seen 386 of its graduates elected to office.

However, its founder Eduardo Mufarej notes that recent changes, including public financing of campaigns and increased use of parliamentary amendments, have made it harder for new candidates to enter politics.
