The POP headquarters published that Marcos Soutino asked voters to attend the second round and declared support for Lula. Soutino stated that voting blank or null, or not voting at all, could jeopardize one's own rights and those of others. He also said that not voting for Lula would mean indirectly supporting the other side and highlighted initiatives he attributed to the former president, such as removing Brazil from the hunger map for the second time and increasing access to public universities. Soutino also suggested that supporters of Flávio Bolsonaro research what his favorite chocolate was. He said that, that week, he had lost 10,000 followers and that he preferred to lose more followers than to lose rights. #VotoConsciente #Eleições2023 #Democracia (translated)
