Supporters of President Lula (PT) filled social media this Saturday morning (17) with photos wearing green and yellow and making the "L" sign with their hands. The mobilization took place after a call made by re-elected federal deputy André Janones (Rede-MG) on the channel "Exército do Lula", which has more than 4 million subscribers on WhatsApp.

"We are going to get our symbols back. This Saturday at 9 am you will post a photo of green and yellow, but making the "L". From that moment on, Brazil will know that green and yellow is ours", says Janones in a video sent to supporters.

According to the deputy, the objective of the action is also to reach voters who are not Lulistas. Lula's campaign has made efforts to increase the PT vote among undecided voters and reduce abstentions in the second round in search of a turnaround against Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) on the 25th.

"This brings in those who are not from our camp. It brings in those voters who are undecided. We will bring in moderate voters, who are in the democratic camp, but who are not on the left," he stated.

The official profiles of Lula and First Lady Janja da Silva followed the call and published photos of the president dressed in a Brazilian football team t-shirt on Instagram. Vice President Geraldo Alckmin posed next to his wife Lu Alckmin.

Former ministers Simone Tebet (PSB) and Marina Silva (Rede) also participated wearing national team t-shirts. The defeated candidate for the Government of São Paulo Fernando Haddad (PT) appeared alongside his wife Ana Estela Haddad making the "L".

The re-elected federal deputy Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP) and newcomers to the Chamber Ana Elisa (PT-MG) and Guilherme Cortez (PSOL-SP), who have a strong presence in digital media, endorsed the mobilization.

Several artists such as Anitta, Caetano Veloso, Diogo Nogueira, Reynaldo Gianecchini, Renata Sorrah, Pablo Vittar, Daniela Mercury, Humberto Carrão, Camila Pitanga and Leticia Spiller also published their photos.
