Brazil presidential candidates intensify street campaigns before first round
As the first round of the Brazilian presidential election approaches, candidates have intensified their street campaigns across the country.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) campaigned in São Paulo, where he defended a recent measure prohibiting online betting operations, citing the need to protect the poor from debt and fraud.
Romeu Zema (Novo) focused his efforts in Minas Gerais, advocating for increased credit for the agribusiness sector, the creation of harvest insurance, and lower interest rates to stimulate production. While Zema intends to maintain his candidacy through the first round, he has authorized Novo party candidates, such as Marina Helena, to support Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) in the first round.
Renan Santos (Missão) held meetings in Minas Gerais and Salvador, emphasizing tax and state cost reductions. However, his campaign schedule in Divinópolis was canceled following a vehicle accident on the BR-262 highway.
Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) participated in religious events in Goiânia and expressed opposition to gambling and its advertising.
