Xico Graziano wrote that Flávio Bolsonaro repeated, in an interview with TV Globo, that he would not run for re-election and that his family members — his father or brothers — would not be candidates for his succession. Graziano said he liked the statement and considered it to be true, recalling that in March of this year, Flávio had filed a PEC to abolish re-election. He added that other proposals on the subject were being discussed in Congress and that Fernando Henrique Cardoso had acknowledged in 2020 that the amendment for re-election had been his biggest mistake during his presidency. In Graziano's assessment, by advocating for a single term, Flávio opened the door to discuss the succession for 2030, with Tarcísio as the first in line. The author expressed hope that if Flávio won, he would eliminate re-election for governors and mayors as well, but questioned whether Congress would approve the proposal or if it was merely a staged act. #Política #Reeleição #Democracia (translated)

Roberto Reis stated that the electoral race was tight and, in his assessment, Lula had been regaining votes among voters from classes D and E, especially among those concerned about losing social benefits. According to him, this group had supported Flávio Bolsonaro in the first round after promises of improvements and prosperity. Reis said that Lula was not gaining votes from Augusto Cury, Ronaldo Caiado, or Renan, but from Flávio. The author claimed that there was an unprecedented fear campaign, with allegations of the political use of CRAS, daycare centers, and educational institutions, in addition to the circulation of false information. According to Reis, voters were being warned that they could lose their pensions, Bolsa Família, BPC, and minimum wage adjustments. Reis said that Flávio had already started to react with an advertisement about public safety, crime, and factions, which also reaffirmed the commitment to maintain and improve social programs. In the author's view, the response should be more incisive, with the participation of new allies. He also advocated for Flávio and Cleitinho to jointly present a national proposal for the IPVA, citing the discussion about the tax in Minas Gerais, where, according to him, Cleitinho won in the first round. Regarding the polls, Reis assessed that Flávio was still leading by about 2 points, possibly reaching 3 in the final stretch, while Lula faced greater rejection and a persistent ceiling. He noted that some polls already indicated a tie but expressed reservations about the sampling considerations, especially regarding the composition of social segments. For Reis, the transfer of votes from the third way had already occurred, and the challenge was to maintain the votes gained in the first round. He asked Rogério Marinho to demand greater participation from the new allies and a more precise direction for communication actions. #Eleições2024 #Lula #FlávioBolsonaro (translated)
