“During the four years of Bolsonaro’s rule, life has become worse. A mockery of the pandemic, neglect of the environment, a catastrophe in the economy. Thirty-three million Brazilians are starving. Almost 80% of families have debts. Brazil can no longer tolerate Bolsonaro,” he said.

“Now we can change, so I’m with Lula. Despite our differences, we are united by much more: democracy and the future of our country. We are going with Lula to Brazil,” the senator added.

Simone Tebet (MDB-MS) finished third in the presidential race and had already pledged her support for Lula earlier this month. She justified her choice by saying that she does not recognize the commitment of democracy in the current president and that over the past four years Brazil has been thrown into the “fire of hatred and division.”

Brazil can no longer accept Bolsonaro. Now we can change, that’s why I’m with Lula. Despite our differences, we are united by much more: democracy and the future of our country. Vote 13 on the 30th. #SawSimomeWotoLula pic.twitter.com/1vGJl69GQM
