Former President Lula expressed support for Haddad's candidacy for governor of São Paulo. Haddad defended the disclosure of all proceedings related to the Banco Master case before the elections, arguing that voters have the right to know the possible implications that candidates may have. The president of the Supreme Federal Court, Edson Fachin, requested the lifting of secrecy on the investigations, but there are still proceedings without disclosure, such as the plea deal of Antônio Carlos Freixo Júnior, known as "Mineiro," pointed out by the Federal Police as the financial operator of Daniel Vorcaro. Haddad believes voters need to know who they are voting for, since politicians from various parties are being investigated in the case.
