Pxeira, who is in Brasília this historic Wednesday, the moment when Lula's candidacy will be registered with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), with the support of a large march of social movements, reports that the Free Lula movement is "organized" and "exciting".
"The supporters are coming from all over Brazil, we expect 50 people for the march. At 16 pm, we will head towards the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) to register Lula's candidacy," explains Pxeira.
Regarding the presidential ticket composed of Lula and Fernando Haddad, he emphasizes that the former mayor of São Paulo is a great figure in the PT (Workers' Party). "We want to elect Lula, but if the thieves don't allow it, Haddad will be his spokesperson in the campaign; I have great confidence in him," the artist assesses.
