Overview

  • The National Directory voted by a wide margin against joining the PT-PCdoB-PV federation, reported as 47–15 or 76% to 24%.
  • Delegates unanimously endorsed supporting President Lula’s reelection in the first round, forgoing a PSOL presidential candidacy in 2026.
  • Leaders confirmed a four-year renewal of the PSOL–Rede federation, described as key to surpassing the cláusula de barreira and securing resources and representation.
  • The outcome marks a defeat for Guilherme Boulos’s Revolução Solidária, which pushed the PT federation, while currents such as MES and Primavera Socialista opposed it.
  • The party set a goal to grow its congressional bench and strengthen the left’s presence in Congress, noting the 2022 PSOL–Rede slate elected 14 federal deputies.
