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)

With ten days to go before the runoff, Lula outlined ten measures and results he attributed to his government. Among them, he mentioned the end of the 6x1 work schedule, with two weekly days off without a pay cut, and the exemption from Income Tax for those earning up to R$ 5,000, which, according to him, would benefit 15 million people. Lula stated that the Pé-de-Meia program served 7.2 million students and said that, in a future government, it would be universalized in high school and extend to higher education. He also declared that Brazil's driver's license process had reduced the cost of obtaining a driver's license by up to 80%. Regarding individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs), he said that the revenue cap would rise from R$ 80,000 to R$ 140,000 and that the debt of more than 3 million of them would be forgiven, although the measure still needed Senate approval. He also stated that the Popular Pharmacy offered 41 items for free and would start including exams and teleconsultations. In the list, Lula also mentioned tax reform, which, according to him, would eliminate taxes on all items in the basic food basket starting in January 2027, and advocated for the end of bets, which he associated with relief for the budgets of millions of families. The president claimed that Brazil had exited the Hunger Map for the second time, both during his administrations, and achieved the lowest rate of severe food insecurity in history. He also mentioned annual increases in the minimum wage above inflation for workers and retirees, the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded, and the lowest average inflation in four years since the redemocratization in 1989. Lula said his project was to continue advancing and accused the opposing project of dismantling what had been accomplished. In the end, he called for support for his candidacy, with the number 13, and mobilization in the streets and on social media. #Brasil #Eleições2023 #Mudança (translated)
