Voting in Rio de Janeiro, Flávio says he represents the change
PL candidate arrived at the voting section accompanied by his wife
The candidate for the Presidency of the Republic Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) defended on Sunday (25), in the second round of elections, which represents change, especially against public violence and debt.
In front of his polling place, he briefly spoke to the press about the expectation of victory in the elections.
“Everyone’s life has gotten worse, so there’s no reason to keep insisting on the mistake. Hope became fear, to walk on the street at night, to have his cell phone stolen, to have his bike stolen. Fear of the empty refrigerator, of not being able to pay the bills," he said.
The candidate arrived to vote at 8:20 a.m. at the Barão Homem de Melo Municipal School, in Vila Isabel, in the northern part of Rio de Janeiro. He was accompanied by his wife Fernanda Bolsonaro, his mother, Rogério Bolsonaro, and the elected governor of Rio de Janeiro, Douglas Ruas.
The street ahead was taken by supporters and also by voters of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Flávio’s opponent in this second round.
The two groups rivaled slogans, for and against Flavio. On the one hand, Lula’s voters recalled the case of Ana Clara, and the suspicions that the candidate has relations with militia groups.
The supporters of the PL candidate shouted phrases against President Lula. Soon after Flavio's departure, the movement dispersed and only the local voters remained.
