“We are going to make Rio happy again!” It is with these words full of optimism that Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, favorite of the presidential election of October 2 in Brazil, concluded, Thursday, July, a Large meeting organized in Rio de Janeiro. A very symbolic displacement three months from the first round, in this “wonderful city”, an eternal showcase of the country, which was also the political cradle of the current head of state of the far right, Jair Bolsonaro.
It was a little more than 20 hours when Lula spoke against several thousand cariocas in joy, gathered on the Cinelandia, a vast downtown place, where the Monster Monster demonstrations took place in the 1980s demanding the end of the military dictatorship. “Overcoming this type [Bolsonaro] is a question of honor for the Brazilian people!” Launched a lula in verve and with unifying accents, advocating “love rather than hatred”.
Walking on a vermeille platform covered with flowers, the charismatic chief of the workers’ party (PT) has long spread out the assessment of the current head of state, accused of corruption, made responsible for record inflation and The disastrous management of the pandemic. “You just have to look at Bolsonaro’s face: we can see that he does not believe in God! He did not shed a tear for the 650,000 deaths of the covid!”, Tonnated the old metalo, believing that ” The Brazilian people have never needed the left so much “.
The time of a meeting, Lula also engaged in a seduction operation for the Carioca people. He, the child of the Nordeste, who built his political career between Sao Paulo and Brasilia, had made Rio the city symbol of his two terms (2003-2011): it was the blessed era of the oil boom and the ‘Organization of the Olympic Games. Poverty fell, violence too. “I doubt that, in all his history, Rio has ever received as much money as when the PT was in power! (…) And Bolsonaro, he, what did he do for this city? What site did- he launched? What school did he inaugurate? He did nothing! Nothing, nothing, nothing! “, Healed the tribune.
This Thursday, the tribune was not alone on stage. At the head of a large coalition bringing together half a dozen political parties, he wanted to put his candidates in local elections in orbit, who will also take place on October 2. He took the break at length in the middle of two of his “protégés” with diametrically opposed routes. On the one hand, Marcelo Freixo, a libertarian socialist and an integral intellectual, candidate as governor of the State of Rio. On the other, André Ceciliano, a controversial pt cacique, suspected of corruption, in the running for the Senate. An improbable team, of which only Lula is capable.
