The Minister of Institutional Relations, Alexandre Padilha, said recently that the act of the candidate for mayor of São Paulo Pablo Marçal (PRTB), who published a false medical report of the candidate Guilherme Boulos (Psol), was directed at the psolista due to the fact that he leads the dispute, in his view. “Marçal’s act of disseminating false reports is a perversion of the democratic process,” he stated.
He said he believes that the Electoral Court will take firm measures in cases like these and that, next year, the National Congress must work to improve the electoral process.
He said that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) received more support for candidates from his base during this term than in other elections in which he was President of the Republic. “It’s just that people have memories of years when he wasn’t president. Today he has a presidential agenda, an international agenda. We will raise the issue of increasing penalties for environmental crimes,” he said.
In the second round, he said that the government base must support and work “to defeat those who used lies” in the electoral process.
