PDT announces support for Lula in the second round; Ciro Gomes participates virtually and supports the decision

After an hour and a half meeting with the PDT Executive this Tuesday (4), Ciro Gomes' party announced, in a press conference, that there was a unanimous decision to support the candidacy of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). According to the president of the PDT, Carlos Lupi, Ciro fully supports the decision. "Defeating Bolsonaro is an absolute priority in the Democrats' cause," said Lupi.

When answering questions from journalists about the bad feeling between Lula and Ciro Gomes, Lupi was emphatic in saying that Ciro fully supports the party's decision and will support Lula in the second round of elections against Jair Bolsonaro (PL).

“Bolsonaro represents backwardness, an aspiring dictator, a man of false Christian faith. We do not admit any PDT supporters in support of Bolsonaro”, emphasized the president of the PDT, Carlos Lupi.

“Ciro will not travel, he will stay in Brazil and support Lula”, he informed. “What is in view are two different projects: on one side a Democrat, on the other an aspiring dictator.”

Regarding Ciro Gomes' resentment against the wave for useful votes, propagated by the PT before the first round on October 2, Lupi said that “hurt only comes from those who do not have the capacity to love”.

“We already had a June festival priest in this election. The political process, in the heat of emotion, can go downhill. I lived this with Brizola and Lula in 1989. When the party decides, everyone has to comply. Ciro Gomes participated in the PDT Executive meeting virtually and fully endorses the decision”, reinforced Lupi.

“I spoke with the president of the PT, Gleisi Hoffman, to include three important points on our agenda in this second round: the issue of minimum income, the renegotiation of the country's debt and full-time school.

The subject already engages Ciro voters on the networks:

Covid-19 deaths will be remembered

The president of the PDT emphasized that the party, together with Lula's PT, will remember the deaths of hundreds of Brazilians during the pandemic due to the absence of the State and lack of action by the government of Jair Bolsonaro (PL).

“I lost friends to Covid-19. We have to remember this every day, because this suffering cannot go unpunished”, said Lupi.

“Today the opponent is known to be undemocratic”, he reinforced, when answering how the party will position itself in the face of Jair Bolsonaro.
