``I don't like either candidate, but I had no choice but to vote for Flavio (Senator Bolsonaro) to prevent Lula (President) from being re-elected.'' This is what Everoud Lira (49), who works for a construction company, said. He said that what bothered him most about the election was ``corruption among politicians'' and complained, ``None of the politicians these days are thinking about the country first.I'm tired of them only trying to protect themselves and their friends.''

Yuri Pedro (18), who works at a convenience store, explained, ``I don't like Lula, but I voted for him because his ideas are closer to my own.'' Although he does not dislike Flavio, he said, ``I don't think he is suitable to be president.'' He said he gave up on going to university for financial reasons, and said, ``If re-elected, I want Lula to implement worker-friendly policies such as raising wages and shortening working hours.''
