On the last Sunday, October 13, before the elections, the PT organized a "national mobilization" in several cities across the country, holding rallies and street parades in support of Lula's candidacy. The event featured the presence of different party candidates.
In Rio de Janeiro, the mobilization took place on Copacabana Beach, under the leadership of Benedita da Silva. In São Paulo, the main names present were Fernando Haddad and Vice President Geraldo Alckmin.
In Copacabana, in addition to PT figures such as federal deputies Lindbergh Farias and Reimont, candidates for re-election, there was a large presence of PSOL members, who are not part of the majoritarian ticket in Rio. The PT supports Pedro Paulo (PSD) for Senate and Eduardo Paes (PSD) for state governor, but neither participated in the event. On the other hand, Mônica Benício (PSOL) and William Siri (PSOL), candidates for Senate and governor respectively, were present at the event.
In this context, Benedita da Silva defended the unity of left-wing parties and social movements, reinforcing the importance of the alliance between different progressive political forces during the electoral period.
