CartaCapital is a weekly Brazilian newsmagazine published in Santana de Parnaíba, São Paulo and João Pessoa, Paraíba and distributed throughout the country by Editora Basset.
The magazine is known for supporting causes such as both of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's candidacies, the legalization of abortion in all cases, the maintenance of the current age of criminal responsibility and the extradition of Cesare Battisti to Italy, among other polemic issues.
CartaCapital is a declared left-wing publication[citation needed] but has in its staff Antonio Delfim Netto, Minister of Economy during the right-wing military dictatorship.
[citation needed] The magazine openly supported Dilma Rousseff's government, although the article in which Mino Carta put and explained his position was later removed without notice.
