Flávio intensifies campaign and targets Minas and Northeast

The Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) campaign intensifies the agenda in the final straight of the second round, focusing on Minas Gerais and the Northeast. The candidate participates in the debate of the TV Globo on Friday (23), in Rio de Janeiro, and the next day should command a carriage in Belo Horizonte. The strategy seeks to broaden voting in regions where opponent Lula (PT) had an advantage in the first round.

Flávio's agenda at the final line

In addition to the debate, the campaign has not yet confirmed the details on Tuesday (20) and Thursday (22). The Friday (23) should be dedicated to the final preparations for the TV Globo, which takes place at night. On Saturday morning, the senator is expected to participate in a carriage in Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais, the second largest electoral college in the country, with more than 12 million voters.

Minas Gerais is considered strategic for Flavio’s campaign, which seeks to reduce Lula’s advantage in the state. The mobilization in Belo Horizonte should gather supporters and reinforce the presence of the candidate in the region. The source did not detail other commitments planned for the weekend.

Strategy for the Northeast

In the Northeast, Lula won in the nine states of the region, but Flavio increased the vote in relation to the performance of Jair Bolsonaro in the first round of 2022. The campaign will try to reduce the margin of the petista in the most populous states of the region in this second round. To do this, the PL escalated the deputy Nikolas Ferreira to command the mobilization in several acts in the Northeast.

The Minas Gerais MP has commitments in the coming days in cities such as Aracaju, São Luís, Recife and Fortaleza. The presence of Nikolas aims to engage voters and broaden the vote of Flavio in the region. The campaign bets on the strength of the deputy among the conservative electorate.

Discourse of mobilization and support

Flavio has encouraged the militancy to go to the streets. “We ask everyone to go to the streets, take their children, take their families, take their flag of Brazil, wear their Bolsonaro shirt with great pride, because it is almost time for us to get Brazil out of the captivity of the PT,” said the candidate in defending the mobilization in this final line.

The guidance, initially presented at a meeting on October 7, was reinforced last Wednesday, during a meeting with pastors. In the first round, Flavio received 47.03% of the valid votes, compared to 45.16% of Lula. The campaign seeks to extend this advantage in the second round.

Focus on Bahia and support from ACM Neto

On Saturday (17), Flávio participated in an act in Salvador, Bahia. The support of former mayor ACM Neto (União Brasil) is seen as strategic by the PL campaign to increase the vote in the region in this second round. During the event, ACM Neto made an emphatic speech.

Lula, the answer I give to your lies is today, showing that Bahia does not belong to the PT. And saying, Lula, that Bahia will help to remove him from the Presidency of the Republic. Because on October 25, Bahia is Flávio, from 22 to president,” said ACM Neto alongside Flávio.

The main electoral stronghold of the PT, Bahia was won by Lula in the first round, with 66.17% of the valid votes in the state, against 28.53% of Flávio. In Salvador, specifically, Lula received 65.26% of the vote, while Flavio received 27.03%. Flávio’s campaign hopes to reverse some of this difference with the support of ACM Neto.

Debate on TV Globo

In the first clash with Lula, Flavio adopted a strategy similar to that of Donald Trump in 2016, positioning himself behind Lula while the petista responded. Lula, in turn, demonstrated difficulty in leading the confrontation and imposing the themes of his campaign. The debate of TV Globo on Friday (23) will be another opportunity for Flavio to try to consolidate his position.

Flávio’s campaign bets on the candidate’s performance in the debate to win over undecided voters. The expectation is that the confrontation will be decisive for the result of the second round. The source did not detail the strategy that will be adopted for the debate.

With the intense agenda, Flávio seeks to extend his advantage and guarantee the victory on October 30. The mobilization in Minas Gerais and the Northeast, allied to the debate in the TV Globo, are the main bets of the campaign for the coming days.
