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)

His impartiality is proven. Not even the moment when Ventura, responsible for managing the works as president of the table, jumped his own party to give the floor to Eurico Brilhante Dias from the Socialist Party, before Chega — with Pedro Pinto jokingly saying that "his impartiality is proven" — was enough to cool the tension in the room. #CPI #AndréVentura #Política (translated)

Fernando Haddad stated that the progressive field should highlight what he called the country's recovery. He said that the Lula 3 government made an economic adjustment without harming low-income people and attributed the resilience of the Brazilian economy, compared to that of a few neighboring countries in South America, to social programs, income tax exemptions, and other measures. Haddad stated that Lula's competitiveness depended on responsibly managing the public accounts situation inherited from the Bolsonaro government, without harming workers or those who relied more on the SUS and public schools. He said that Lula had managed to balance these objectives and arrived competitively at the elections, with a good chance of reversing the first-round result and winning. #HaddadNaGloboNews #Brasil #Lula #Política (translated)
