g1 to host debate among São Paulo Senate candidates
The event is scheduled for Friday at 1 p.m. at TV Globo studios in São Paulo and will be streamed on the portal’s website and social platforms. Six candidates are set to take part under a roundtable format with regulated speaking time.
According to g1, a debate among candidates for the Senate seat representing São Paulo state will take place on Friday the 25th at TV Globo’s studios in the state capital. Journalist Ana Paula Campos will moderate the event, which is set to begin at 1 p.m.
g1 said the debate will be broadcast live on its website and on the outlet’s YouTube, TikTok and Instagram accounts.
The confirmed participants are André do Prado, Geraldo Rufino, Guilherme Derrite, Marina Silva, Simone Tebet and Soninha Francine. g1 reported that it invited candidates from parties and coalitions with at least five members in the National Congress. Candidates from other parties could also take part if they reached 5% or more in a Datafolha poll released on Thursday the 24th, but none met that threshold.
The debate will follow a roundtable format. Each candidate will have 15 minutes of total speaking time to manage throughout the discussion. Six topics will be defined in advance and shared with the campaigns, while the order in which they are addressed will be drawn before the event starts.
Speaking turns may last up to 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the same candidate will not be allowed to speak twice in a row. A participant may speak again only after another candidate has taken the floor. At the end, all participants will have one minute for closing remarks.
g1 also said that requests for a right of reply will be reviewed by the production team and the moderator, and may be granted in cases of personal offense under rules previously agreed with the campaigns.
The event is part of a broader series organized by the portal featuring Senate candidates in eight states and the Federal District.
