Lula and Haddad's campaign event in São Paulo generates an impasse with the Military Police and City Hall

President Lula, candidate for re-election, participates in the event alongside Haddad, candidate for governor of São Paulo, vice-president Geraldo Alckmin (PSB) and Senate candidates Marina Silva (Rede) and Simone Tebet (PSB).

Before the arrival of Lula and Haddad, there was a beginning of friction between members of the organization and the military police who were monitoring the event. According to the team responsible for the event, the PMs asked the electric trio that was further ahead on Augusta to advance along the road, even before the candidates arrived. The organizers refused to comply with the request.

In a statement, the Military Police stated that, until that moment, there was no impediment on the part of the corporation to the protesters' desired route. According to the PM, the organizers kept the event at a certain point waiting for the arrival of participants

"The PM carries out the marking of the event and seeks direct contact with the organizers, in conjunction with the municipal and state bodies involved, to prevent accidents and minimize inconvenience", stated the corporation.

The holding of the event in the Paulista region was the subject of an impasse between the PT campaign and São Paulo City Hall in recent days.

On Thursday (1st), the City Hall stated that it had not authorized the walk and said that it was responding to a request from the Regional Electoral Court of São Paulo (TRE-SP). According to the municipal administration, the court had ordered that Avenida Paulista be kept clear on the 3rd, 4th, 24th and 25th of October.

On the same day, however, TRE-SP clarified to g1 that it had not determined a ban on political acts in Paulista on Saturday. The guidance sent to City Hall aimed to keep the avenue open to vehicle traffic on Sunday (4), voting day.
