Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the PL candidate for the Presidency, stated on Thursday, 20, that he intends to enter history even if he serves as a transition president. The remarks were made during a campaign event in São Paulo with Governor Tarcísio de Freitas and Mayor Ricardo Nunes. During the event, Bolsonaro praised Governor Freitas's management and credited him as one of the most prepared individuals to lead the Ministry of Infrastructure. Mayor Nunes expressed strong support for the senator, urging candidates to include the PL presidential number on their campaign materials to help gain votes in the capital, where President Lula typically holds an advantage.
Both Bolsonaro and Freitas used the event to criticize the Lula administration, citing the judicial recovery process of Casas Bahia as an example of the difficulties facing entrepreneurs and workers. While the center left source focused primarily on the senator's statement regarding his historical legacy without further elaboration, the center right source provided extensive context regarding the strategic alliances in São Paulo and the specific economic criticisms leveled against the current government.
