Ricardo Zampieri says Northeast "will wake up" and predicts advance of Flávio Bolsonaro

The elected state deputy Ricardo Zampieri (PL), one of the leaders of the Flávio Bolsonaro campaign in Ponta Grossa and Campos Gerais, voted on Sunday morning (25) at the Professor César Prieto Martinez Education Institute, in Ponta Grossa. After voting, he commented on the expectations for the second round of the presidential elections and said that the campaign is working to expand the vote of the candidate of the PL in different regions of the country.

During a conversation with BnT Online, Zampieri stated that the goal of the supporters is to increase the difference in votes between Flávio Bolsonaro and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), who are vying for the Presidency of the Republic.

“Our goal now is to increase the difference between Flávio and Lula, making Flávio win this second round,” he said.

Zampieri bets on votes in the Northeast

In evaluating the national scenario, the elected state deputy demonstrated an expectation that Flávio Bolsonaro will expand its electoral performance in the Northeast, a region in which Lula historically has electoral strength.

According to Zampieri, Northeastern voters could play an important role in the outcome of Sunday’s vote. “The Northeast will wake up now and vote by weight on Flávio Bolsonaro,” he said.

The speech represents the expectation of the parliamentary in relation to the behavior of the voters of the region. The result, however, will depend on the vote counted in the polls.

Youth of Campos Gerais

Zampieri also commented on the political mobilization in Ponta Grossa and in the municipalities of Campos Gerais. In his assessment, the involvement of young people in the campaign is one of the factors that can contribute to the performance of Flávio Bolsonaro in the region.

During the interview, the MP criticized the Workers' Party (PT) and said he believed in a change in the national political scene.

“The youth have woken up here at Campos Gerais and will, according to him, take the rope of the PT from power,” he said, referring to Flávio Bolsonaro’s expectation of victory.

Dispute over the Presidency

The second round of the presidential elections puts face to face Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). In Ponta Grossa, Zampieri works in the regional political articulation in support of the candidate of the PL and participated in the mobilizations carried out in the city during the campaign.

The expectation expressed by the parliamentarian is now for the widening of the difference of votes and for the victory of Flávio Bolsonaro. The definition of the result depends on the official counting of the Justiça Eleitoral.
