Boulos appealed to people to talk, regardless of whether the political side is left or right. Boulos highlighted the differences in proposals between the candidates.
"In this second round, it doesn't matter if the person we talk to is left or right, if she likes President Lula or not. It matters if she wants to retire. Because with Bolsonaro, retirement will be frozen. It matters to the mother of an autistic child who receives the BPC if she wants to have her benefit. For those who get medicine at Farmácia Popular, they are beneficiaries of Bolsa Família, they live on rent and dream of Minha Casa, Minha Vida, whether they will have their right or not", he said. Boulos.
Guilherme Boulos also spoke about the current government's projects to maintain democracy and rights, and about the concern with issues that deal with women's rights.

"That's what we have to talk about eye to eye with everyone. It's about respect for children. Because we don't want children growing up with a gun in their hand. It's about respect for women. Because we want a president who makes a pact against feminicide and not who thinks women are weak," he said.
During the event, Boulos also highlighted the Lula government's actions to guarantee food for the most vulnerable and, to this end, mentioned that they intend to strengthen family farming.
Guilherme Boulos concluded his speech to supporters by asking for commitment in the remaining days of the campaign.
"We have ten days, you have already done a lot, this is very important. If we arrived today in a survey with a technical tie with Flávio Bolsonaro, it is because of the movement that we made, that you made", he highlighted.
