'The campaign for strategic voting for Lula had an effect, and Bolsonaro lost control of the electoral narrative,' says Vera Magalhães.
"The campaign to vote 'Lula now' had an effect on jurists, artists, economists, political opponents, and even brought in former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso," says the journalist.
247 - “Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s campaign headquarters strategy of seeking strategic votes has managed to reverse the trend of practically the entire campaign: Jair Bolsonaro has lost control of the electoral narrative ten days before the election,” says the journalist. Vera Magalhães in the newspaper O Globo.
"The call for 'Lula now' votes had an effect on jurists, artists, economists, political opponents, and even brought former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso, a former prime target of the PT, into the debate, albeit with a statement that doesn't name names, only concepts," he observes.
"Meanwhile, within Bolsonaro's camp, the climate has completely changed since the euphoria that was quickly contained by the September 7th events. Subsequent polls showing stagnation and a slight negative fluctuation for the president, along with the terrible repercussions of his international tour, have demobilized the troops. The various groups that make up Bolsonaro's camp are already beginning, behind the scenes, to assign blame for the current scenario," the columnist points out.
"While publicly they demonize polling institutes and the press, the usual culprits, in private they are already acknowledging the role that the president's intemperance and that of his most radical allies, such as Congressman Douglas Garcia, played in hindering the recovery of voting intentions and the drop in rejection rates," he adds.
“The Centrão [a group of center-right political parties] and Bolsonaro himself blame Paulo Guedes for the bad news in the budget, which contradicts the president's sudden social concern in the final stretch of his government. The minister, feeling cornered, even by the threat that, in the event of a second term, his ministry (and his power) will be reduced, reacts nervously, abandoning an interview in which he did precisely what his allies complain about: he worked against the electioneering discourse. Reactive, he lashed out at his colleague Ciro Nogueira, whom he accuses of not supporting Bolsonaro. In fact, Nogueira is quietly taking his seat and leaving quietly, by taking leave from the Civil House at the crucial moment of the dispute. He says he's going to Piauí and will be right back. Will he come back?”, the journalist questions.
