Overview
- Rede’s National Directory voted 68–0 on March 9 to extend the alliance with PSOL, keeping the parties acting as a single entity through 2030.
- Two days earlier, PSOL voted to maintain the pairing, rejected joining the PT–PCdoB–PV federation, and endorsed Lula’s re‑election without fielding its own presidential ticket.
- Party leaders Heloísa Helena and Paulo Lamac framed the renewal as the outcome of internal democratic debate and a commitment to defending democracy and vulnerable populations.
- Under Brazil’s 2021 reform, the federation shares a parliamentary bench, campaign strategy, advertising time and performance for access to public funds during its four‑year term.
- To retain full benefits in 2026, the federation must elect at least 13 federal deputies or reach 2.5% of valid votes across nine states; in 2022 it surpassed that with 4.29% of votes and 14 deputies.
