Levy Fidelix acknowledges that he has no way of 'emerging victorious'.
In Maceió, campaigning and asking for votes, presidential candidate Levy Fidelix (PRTB) acknowledged that he cannot win the election "given the media's imposition regarding polls favorable to Dilma, Aécio, and Marina"; he also declared that he is already a candidate for 2018; when questioned about possible support for a second round between Dilma and Marina, the presidential candidate said that "it would be audacious of him, in the middle of a debate, to say that he would support A or B."
Alagoas247 - Presidential candidate Levy Fidelix (PRTB) is in Maceió campaigning and asking for votes for the party's candidates for proportional representation positions in Alagoas. In an interview with the press, he reaffirmed that the party's intention is to elect up to three federal deputies in the state. Fidelix criticized the press, which he accused of publishing electoral polls that – supposedly – would benefit the three candidates with the highest voting intentions for the Presidency. He believes he will not win the elections 'because he is forgotten by the mainstream media'.
"I have no way of emerging victorious in the face of the media's imposition regarding polls favorable to Dilma Rousseff, Aécio Neves, and Marina Silva. They are disseminating bogus and unfounded polls. Our ideas have already won. When the people want change, we will change; however, while I spend one million reais, Dilma spends 200 million," laments the candidate.
Fidelix has already guaranteed that he will run for the same position in 2018 if he is unsuccessful in this year's election, and believes that there is a feeling of change among most Brazilians. "The people want to be free and they are becoming increasingly aware. I will be back in 2018; no problem," he anticipates.
Alongside fellow party members and candidates for state representative, he presented some of the proposals from the party's government program. Fidelix wants to exempt at least 10 basic food items from taxes; lower taxes on medicines; institute a national health plan for Brazilians, promoting the care of people from the Unified Health System (SUS) in private hospitals, which will be reimbursed by the state; institute a full family allowance so that all members can work; and implement banking and financial reform. "We need to combat inflation without applying high interest rates," he emphasizes.
Despite his critical tone towards the leading candidates in the polls, when questioned about potentially supporting a second round between Dilma and Marina, the presidential candidate said that "it would be audacious of him, in the middle of a debate, to say that he would support A or B." He concluded: "I am still waiting for the people to reflect so that there can be a great turnaround. We are hopeful, despite everything, because elections and gold mining only really matter at the time of the count."
