With Lula, Boulos explores credit to SP launched by federal management

One week before the second round and behind in the voting intention polls for City Hall in São Paulo, candidate Guilherme Boulos (PSOL) made a live broadcast alongside the President of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, this Saturday, 19 , in which he explored the line of credit recently launched by the federal government to support residents of SP affected by the lack of electricity.

In the live broadcast, Boulos also took advantage of Lula’s presence to compare his trajectory to that of the head of the Executive and argued that the election “will be decided in the last few days”, when answering questions about his performance in the electoral polls.

The PSOL candidate once again criticized the management of current mayor Ricardo Nunes (MDB), who is seeking re-election, with statements also full of indirect comments towards the management of governor Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans) and the Bolsonaro government.

Despite reinforcing the speech that he was not looking for anyone to blame for the crisis involving the energy concessionaire, Lula endorsed the sponsored person’s assessments, repeating that the federal administration will also serve the population that lost their assets due to the blackout, in addition to the line for businesspeople already formalized.

While the live broadcast was broadcast, Planalto announced that it had published in an extra edition of the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) the Provisional Measure that makes R$ 150 million available from the Operations Guarantee Fund (FGO), to be used as a guarantee for micro credit. and small businesses affected by the blackout in SP.

Lula said he wanted to have talked about the subject during the walks that were scheduled to take place in the capital of São Paulo alongside Boulos, but were canceled due to the rain. With campaign events impossible, the president and candidate opted for Live.

The video with Boulos was broadcast live on the president’s social networks, in a title that drew attention to the PSOL candidate’s number in the electoral dispute. “Attention: in São Paulo our candidate is 50!”, said the media description. Boulos’ number was repeated several times by Lula during the broadcast.

After the first round, a report from the newspaper O Globo showed that around 48,100 voters from São Paulo annulled their vote on October 6th in São Paulo for voting for Lula’s PT number, 13.

Challenged in the campaign by the “radical” image attributed to him by opponents, Boulos also took advantage of the chat to recall a conversation in which the president told him that he had gone through the same situation in the 1989 presidential elections. “You said: I lived this, in 89 (…) History sometimes repeats itself. What can somehow make people afraid of change is fear,” said Boulos. “I experienced all kinds of prejudice”, replied the PT member.

The PSOL candidate also minimized the results of the voting intention polls and said he had “a lot of confidence” in the election, trusting in a “turnaround”. “The best victory is that you are losing at 40 in the second half, score an equalizer at 45 and turn it around at 49. The election is decided in the last few days. I’ll be on the street non-stop.”

Lula reinforced the appeal, asking people who support the psolist to talk to those who still have doubts and “think Boulos is going to invade” their homes.

“It is important that the militants understand that we have one week, it is important that in the village where we live, in the place where we work, we talk to those who have doubts, with those people who think that Boulos is going to invade their house, to we can convince people”, said the president, who guaranteed support from the federal government for a possible Boulos administration. “Projects that Boulos takes to Brasília will certainly be analyzed,” said Lula.
