Rio de Janeiro, October 16, 2025 — The highly anticipated Presidential Debate for Brazil’s 2025 Definitive Elections took place last night at the EBN Debate Center in Rio de Janeiro, marking a pivotal moment in the country’s political calendar. Hosted by EBN in a strategic partnership with TV Diário and Band, the event drew a packed auditorium full of engaged citizens, underscoring the intense public interest surrounding this election cycle.
The debate aired from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM and featured the main presidential candidates: Cauã Rodrigues of the Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (MDB), Silvio Santos representing União Brasil (UB), and Pedro Costa from the Partido Social Liberal (PSL). The main focus of the confrontation was Brazil’s sovereignty, particularly emphasizing national defense and the growing concerns over external interference from European nations.
Candidates engaged in vigorous discussions over how to protect Brazil from foreign influence, referencing several pressing threats. These included the recent emergence of a counterfeit Bloxburh Brazil by BUK founder and permanet leader Donovan Moore and destabilizing actions by terrorist groups such as Montavia and Petúria, along with security threats linked to the influential Hockford family. These issues resonate deeply with the public’s demand for assertive responses and safeguarding of national integrity.
Pedro Costa’s platform sparked notable controversy due to his more pro-European stance. He advocated for a comprehensive review and possible lifting of some sanctions imposed by Brazil on European countries, aiming to reduce confrontation. Costa argued for a strategic inward focus for Brazil, encouraging prioritization of domestic interests over foreign disputes. While this proposal aimed at balancing perspectives, it faced skepticism from a population deeply concerned about European interference.
Besides national defense, the debate also covered a broad range of substantive topics, including the economy, security, healthcare, transportation, industry, and overall defense strategy. National industry control and sovereignty were especially emphasized, reflecting widespread public discontent with external meddling and the critical role of economic independence in Brazil’s future.
EBN is preparing to release the full debate video at 4:00 PM today on the EBN Play streaming platform. The edited footage will feature advanced motion graphics, 3D vignettes, and professional on-screen presentation elements to ensure an engaging viewing experience.
