To stop the onslaught of president and reelection candidate Jair Bolsonaro (PL) with the evangelical public, the presidential campaign of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) decided to create accounts on social networks aimed at this segment, which corresponds to 30% of the electorate. The news in the PT’s communication was informed this Saturday to the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
The profiles created and presented to the TSE were called “Evangélicos com Lula”. In a note, the campaign press office says that the initiative came from the religious themselves. “Some evangelical sectors – both from the coalition parties and outside of it – contacted us with an interest in working with evangelical communities in the campaign, and for this to be possible we registered these sites and profiles in the TSE”, says the team.
The dispute for the command of the country has been marked by the mutual attacks of Bolsonaro and Lula with religious content. At a service in Belo Horizonte, First Lady Michelle said that the Planalto Palace was consecrated to demons in previous governments. Lula said last Tuesday that Bolsonaro was possessed by the devil. Today, at a rally in São Paulo, the PT defended the secular state and criticized the use of churches as a political platform and the circulation of “fake religious news”. However, with the creation of profiles on social networks, the former president shows that he will not be left out of this dispute for the public of the churches.
The background is the dispute for the evangelical electorate, which today is mostly with Bolsonaro. In the most recent Datafolha poll, the candidate for reelection grew by six percentage points and reached 49% of voting intentions among evangelicals, compared to 32% for Lula. The PT is concerned about Bolsonaro’s growth in the segment and discusses ways to react to it.
