Support for Lula
Solidarity made official its support for the PT candidacy in the act held on May 3. The support, however, was almost canceled after the president of Solidarity, Paulinho da Forçato have been booed during Lula’s event with unionists.
In retaliation, Paulinho even canceled the event in which Solidarity would declare formal support for the PT candidate for the Presidency of the Republic. But, days later, tempers were calmed. PT president Gleisi Hoffmann and Lula needed to take the field to appease their ally’s irritation.
