Flavio Bolsonaro's campaign (PL) is preparing specific material to respond to attacks related to "Dark Horse," a biopic about Jair Bolsonaro whose financing became one of the main sources of wear on the presidential candidate. The episode entered the candidate's preparation script for interviews and question-and-answer sessions, in an attempt to reduce the risk of new statements prolonging the controversy. The strategists created a "protocol" that provides short answers for questions on sensitive topics, without extending explanations, and directs the candidate to respond objectively and then redirect the discourse to attacks on Lula. Flavio will have no public schedules this Thursday in Brasilia to prepare for the Jornal Nacional interview.
Paulo Raimundo accused the Government of "throwing mud at the wall" regarding the promise not to touch Social Security during this legislation, considering that promise "is worth nothing".
Chega challenged the PS to make the party's proposals to lower VAT on fuels and the food basket viable, in a dynamic of political opposition regarding fiscal measures.
José Luís Carneiro again demanded a clear position from the prime minister guaranteeing that Social Security will not be privatized, reinforcing his opposition to any possibility of opening the Social Security system to the private sector.
The president of Chega, Ventura, today criticized the Government's inaction regarding the problems caused by storm Kristin, pointing particularly to the roads that remain closed without viable alternatives having been created for the affected population.
