“We are continuing a proposal that has already worked in our other debates by proposing an idea- and project-driven model. This will be an opportunity for the people of Santa Catarina to get to know the candidates and their proposals even better and to make the best decision in the elections,” says Grupo ND Content Director Luis Menegim.

The discussion will be moderated by journalist Paulo Alceu, who looks forward to a productive discussion. “Debating is one of the most visible moments of a political campaign, and this model is attractive to the public.” At all blocks, other journalists from Grupo ND will participate with questions on topics relevant to the state.
