Communist historian Jones Manoel plans to run for president or Congress in 2026, aiming to offer a genuine left-wing alternative. Manoel, who has gained significant social media traction, states he is not affiliated with the Workers' Party or President Lula, distinguishing himself from current leftist politics. He previously ran for governor of Pernambuco in 2022. His growing online presence has led to debates with right-wing figures and also resulted in threats from neo-Nazi groups, which he is reporting to authorities.
