Lula campaigns in São Paulo on the last day of the first round of the presidential elections

Jornal Nacional showed how the last day of campaigning for candidates for President of the Republic in this first round went. They prioritized agendas in their own electoral homes, where they will vote this Sunday (4).

President Lula, PT's re-election candidate, stayed in São Paulo. In the morning, Lula took a walk on Rua Augusta. He got into a pickup truck, alongside the candidate for vice-president Geraldo Alckmin, from the PSB, and the candidate for governor of São Paulo, Fernando Haddad, from the PT.

Along the way, Lula waved and spoke to supporters, defended investments in science, technology and education and said he intends to focus on full-time schools and student financing. He also spoke about the importance of everyone's participation in elections and highlighted the vote of voters over 70 years old:

"We are not forced to get old because the years pass. What causes old age is a lack of motivation, a lack of cause. And my cause is the Brazilian people. My cause is education, my cause is the sovereignty of this country."

The walk took almost an hour and ended at Praça Roosevelt, in the center of São Paulo - a journey of around 2 km.
