President campaigns for 15 candidates for state governments and 18 for the Federal Senate; PL is the preferred acronym
President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) broadcast this Wednesday (September 21, 2022) the 1st live in “free electoral propaganda”. The reelection candidate said that he intends to publish daily the candidates he supports in the Senate and local government races.
In this debut, Bolsonaro explicitly supported 21 PL candidates; 4 of the PP; 2 from Republicans and 2 from União Brasil; 1 from PSD, 1 from PSC, 1 from Solidarity and 1 from PTB.
The president made longer comments about some candidates. As for others, he merely divulged the urn number. Bolsonaro released the pamphlet with the photo of all 33 postulants he supported this Wednesday.
Here are some comments made by the president on the broadcast about the disputes at:
- Sao Paulo: “Tarcísio, our captain and king of the asphalt, is entering politics because I convinced him. He didn’t want to get into politics, then he took a liking to it. Every now and then, he makes a few slips because he’s still new to politics. You shouldn’t be judged by a word, a support for a person you think shouldn’t be supported. Focus on Tarcísio and see if he has a better one. With all due respect, I don’t think so”;
- Rio de Janeiro: “The Senate race is more or less even… even. But we hope that Psol doesn’t win, it would be a tragedy. So, a little later, we decide on a name for the Senate of Rio de Janeiro”;
- Maranhao: “There are 3 sympathetic government candidates. We will be exempt. We see in the 2nd shift after what happens, we will work better”;
- Minas Gerais: “We have Carlos Viana running for governor, but a very important name for us is Cleitinho, who is running for the Senate. I’m closed with him, I talked a lot, I already had a certain respect from the population, he scored well and has grown”;
- Rio Grande do Sul: “There are people who have sympathy for another candidate, it is his right. But I ask people to vote for someone in tune with us. And there are people that we know have no chance. It just gets in the way, takes votes from those who can arrive. We cannot let the left take over, come as a senator in RS”.
