Brazilian President Lula appealed to voters to vote in a way that keeps Brazil's wealth in Brazilian hands, warning of the need to avoid what happened in Venezuela. This speech comes in a tense political context, marked by the proximity of the upcoming elections.
The latest Datafolha poll, released last Friday, placed Lula with 39% of voting intentions, which represents four more percentage points than Bolsonaro's son. These numbers reveal a significant advantage for the current President over his main adversary in the polls.
Lula's appeal focuses on the preservation of national heritage and the defense of Brazil's resources, suggesting that a vote for another candidate could compromise the country's economic sovereignty. The reference to Venezuela serves as a warning about the risks of policies that, according to Lula, could take Brazil in a similar direction.
With this campaign, Lula seeks to mobilize the electorate around the idea that continuity of his government is essential to ensure that Brazilian wealth remains under national control, contrasting this view with what he considers to be the dangers of a change in political direction.
