Reinaldo Azevedo warns: Bolsonaro is competitive and could still win.
According to the journalist, Lula is aware of the possibility of Bolsonaro being re-elected and, therefore, is seeking broad alliances to defeat the current government.
247 - ""We've reached mid-March, and Jair Bolsonaro's candidacy for re-election hasn't collapsed as many predicted," writes journalist Reinaldo Azevedo in an article in... Folha de S. Paul, published this Friday (11). For him, Bolsonaro "should arrive competitive in the second round".
"Underestimating him, ignoring the bloody arena of social media where the dispute is also being fought, was the most foolish mistake made in 2018. By 'competitive,' understand: the president can be re-elected," he says, also stating that former president Lula (PT), who leads the polls, also knows how difficult it will be to defeat Bolsonaro. "Lula never believed that Bolsonaro would be swallowed up either by the badness of his government or by waves of opinion. Few politicians have such a keen ear as his to hear the voice of the streets—even the virtual streets of today," he declares.
Azevedo's assessment aligns with that of the president of the PT party, federal deputy Gleisi Hoffmann. This was stated in two appearances on TV 247, on the programs... 11 o'clock news (February 24th) and Good Evening 247 (March 9th)The parliamentarian warned of the tough and difficult nature of the electoral contest and considered that the Bolsonaro's candidacy represents a threat to the country..
Finally, the journalist defends the alliances formed by Lula to ensure the defeat of the current government and rejects comparisons between the Workers' Party leader and Bolsonaro. "There are still those who repudiate a policy of alliances or who insist on the farce that Lula and Bolsonaro are opposing evils, but combined. Neither side has understood anything."
