In Porto Alegre, alongside Flávio, Moro says Brazil needs a president who respects and values the South
Largo Glênio Peres, in the Historic Center of the southern capital, was packed on Thursday. The event brought together governors, elected senators and political leaders from four states in support of Flávio Bolsonaro's presidential candidacy
The elected governor of Paraná, Sergio Moro, said on Wednesday (14), in Porto Alegre, that Brazil needs a president who respects and values the states of the South. Alongside the senator and candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, Flávio Bolsonaro, Moro participated in a political act that crowded Largo Glênio Peres, in the Centro Histórico of the capital of the Gauchese.
“The South deserves to have in the Palace of the Plateau a president who respects the Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul,” Moro said, defending the political union of the three states around the candidacy of Flávio Bolsonaro.
Moro highlighted the alliance between the leaders of the South and said that the region needs to have its interests considered by the federal government.
“Lula doesn’t like the South. Lula always acted to discriminate, to act against the interests of the South of the country. Now we are allied, the three of us together, in favor of the Flávio Bolsonaro,” he said.
The event brought together the elected governors Tarcísio de Freitas, of São Paulo, Sergio Moro, of Paraná, and Luciano Zucco, from Rio Grande do Sul, host of the meeting, as well as the governor of Santa Catarina, Jorginho Mello. Five elected senators also participated: Carol De Toni, from Santa Catarina; Sanderson and Marcel van Hattem, from Rio Grande do Sul; and Filipe Barros and Deltan Dallagnol, from Paraná.
In his speech, Flávio Bolsonaro stated that the presence of supporters renews his disposition for the presidential contest and promised to work to change the course of the country. Referring to the floods that hit Rio Grande do Sul, he compared the recovery of the state to the change he intends to promote in Brazil.
This dirty flag of mud from our beloved Rio Grande has been rescued from the debris of the mud. And I swear by you, I will rescue Brazil from the mud that Lula created for our country,” he said.
Moro says Brazil has real chance of change
In the speech, Moro said that the result of the first round opened an opportunity for change, but warned that the campaign must continue to mobilize voters until the final vote.
“Now we have a real chance for change. But make no mistake, because our victory in the first round is not the definitive victory,” he said.
The elected governor associated Flávio Bolsonaro's candidacy with the expectation of changes in the economy, public security and the fight against corruption. He also criticized the Lula government, citing household debt, high interest rates, the difficulties faced by companies and agribusiness, and cases of corruption.
“The people want change. And that’s why the people chose this change in the person of Flávio Bolsonaro, who has the real intention to change the country,” Moro said.
Flavio, in turn, criticized the federal government and attributed negative results to the current administration in areas such as taxes, violence against women, corruption and the closure of commercial establishments.
“We are all united on one side: the side of change. And Brazil will change in 11 days for the better together with each of you,” he said, calling on supporters to intensify the campaign in the final days before the vote.
The governor-elect also called on supporters to step up the campaign, talking to family, friends, neighbors and voters who have not yet decided their vote.
“Now it’s time to work. Convince your neighbor, convince your friend,” Moro said.
Flavio also criticized Lula, saying that the president would be focused on maintaining power, while his candidacy, according to him, would be focused on the future of the country.
The act in Porto Alegre brought together political leaders of São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul in support of Flávio Bolsonaro’s candidacy in the second round of the presidential election. Throughout the speeches, Moro and Flavio reinforced the defense of changes in the federal government and the importance of mobilizing voters until the vote.
