Zucco talked about his trajectory in the Army, cited former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and defended the idea of "returning gaúcho pride." Juliana Brizola (PDT), in turn, explored the floods that occurred in 2024 in the state, criticized an alleged "war policy" and focused her arguments on education and health.
