Jones Manoel stated that the Senzala Cultural Movement had organized mobilization activities and distributed leaflets in the following days, with the aim of supporting the reelection of President Lula. He said that Jaboatão had been governed for years by Bolsonaro-supporting families who, according to him, had destroyed the city, and he advocated for increasing dialogue with the population to combat Bolsonarism and its projects. Manoel also stated that his candidacy had been the second most voted in the municipality and said that this showed that workers would no longer accept attacks from the same families. #Lula2024 #Jaboatão #Mobilização (translated)

Jones Manoel claimed that his campaign for federal deputy in Pernambuco, number 5050, was already victorious. He said the launch had taken place just over a month earlier and that since then he had traveled across the state and met people willing to support the campaign. He also stated that he would present the results the following day and asked for votes. In presenting his journey, Manoel said he grew up in Borborema, in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, the son of a Black woman who worked as a domestic worker and raised him alone. He reported that he worked from an early age as a newspaper seller, construction helper, office boy, and school janitor. He stated that he learned about hunger, poverty, and humiliation while living in the Borborema Favela and came to understand them as the result of political choices and a society that, according to him, needed to be transformed. He also said he was the first in his family and community to reach higher education and that, with Professor Júlio, he created a popular preparatory course in the region. The publication was identified as electoral propaganda of the PSOL/REDE Federation. #Eleições2023 #Pernambuco #CampanhaEleitoral (translated)
