São Paulo to host pro-Lula and pro-Flávio Bolsonaro demonstrations

As the second round of the Brazilian presidential election approaches on October 25, opposing political groups have scheduled various demonstrations in São Paulo for Sunday, October 18.

Supporters of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) plan to gather on Avenida Paulista around 11:00 AM. The PL has informed the São Paulo City Hall that they expect to mobilize approximately 20,000 people, requesting space for structures including a stage, tents, and medical support. The mobilization is framed as a political response to recent large-scale pro-Lula demonstrations.

Simultaneously, supporters of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) have organized multiple activities. While Lula is not expected to attend the street events personally, his campaign has scheduled various mobilizations, including acts in the city's periphery such as the North, South, and East zones. These events aim to engage working-class voters through cultural and political activities. Additionally, pro-Lula supporters have scheduled an act at Largo da Batata in the Faria Lima area.

Both candidates are scheduled to participate in a televised debate on Band at 8:00 PM on Sunday night.
