Flavio Bolsonaro went to Goiás, political birthplace of Caiado, who was once governor, federal deputy and senator by the state, to receive support from the ally, although the PSD, center party, has not defined who will support in the second round.

 

During the speech, Flávio Bolsonaro thanked Caiado for his support and said he intends to “change the Constitution” to “redemocratize Brazil”, since the PL elected most parliamentarians for the National Congress.

In this sense, he promised, if elected, to reduce the criminal age by quoting violent crimes committed by young people, such as trafficking, murder and rape of women.

A few weeks ago, the 77-year-old conservative politician referred to Flávio Bolsonaro as one of Brazil’s “greatest robbers” and at the rally in Goiás today, he explained the criticisms he made to the newest ally.

“Oh, but the Fallen was hard on Flavius. I'm hard on everyone. I'm into the tough campaign. I exceeded my criticism, I wanted to win, I wanted to be president”, said Caiado when he said he will enter “full body by conviction” in the campaign.

“ You are in the second round and have my respect”, said Caiado right after saying that “Lula stole the future of Brazil” and quoted the corruption scandals that the Workers Party (PT) was already involved, and that Flávio’s victory “will be the change” to the PT.

“ You can count on our support. We are at your disposal to enter wherever it is in our country and to say that the Brazilian State does not bow to crime and bandeira ", completed.

This is the second formal support that Flávio Bolsonaro receives from a president, being the first Romeo Zema, from NEW, who was governor of Minas Gerais, the second largest electoral stronghold in the country, but only registered 0.27% in the polls, that is, just over 326 thousand valid votes.

Former Brazilian President Michel Temer (2016-2018), who succeeded the PT Government after the dismissal of Dilma Rousseff in 2016, used his social networks to declare support to Flavio.

The eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro left ahead, with just over 2 million of the current President, Lula da Silva, who tries to re-election, in the first round of last Sunday. Flavius ended with 47.03% of the valid votes and the leftist leader of the PT with 45.16%. of Lula

With the tight and high abstaining scenario, i.e. more than 33 million voters not voting, the two campaigns appeal to their supporters to convince people to come to the polls on 25th.

“ Get one vote, one vote more for me and you will be helping me too much ", said Flavio in appeal to his supporters.

The candidate of the PL went to Goiás accompanied by Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), governor reelected by São Paulo, the most populous Brazilian state and with the highest number of voters in the country.

Tarcisio declared support for Flavius, although his party still does not define who will support in the second round.

Meanwhile, two other major movements of center, Brazil Union and Progressive Party, should make official on Wednesday support to Flávio Bolsonaro, as the CNN Brazil said.

Lula da Silva so far has not obtained support from any other candidate for President of Brazil defeated in last Sunday's elections.
