Lula visits José Sarney after campaign event in São Luís

The meeting took place at Sarney's residence, shortly after the campaign event held by Lula in the central region of the capital of Maranhão. The visit lasted around twenty minutes and, according to the information, both talked little about political matters.

After the meeting, Lula went to Marechal Hugo da Cunha Machado International Airport, in São Luís, from where he boarded for Bahia. This Tuesday afternoon, the president fulfills his campaign schedule in the state.

Three days ago, former President of the Republic José Sarney was discharged from hospital after undergoing abdominal surgery, on October 9, to reverse an intestinal obstruction.

PT's candidate for reelection to the Presidency of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, completed a campaign agenda in São Luís this Tuesday (20). He participated in a mobilization with supporters in the Historic Center of the capital of Maranhão.

The meeting was scheduled for 9am, in Largo do Carmo, starting around 11am. During an interview in the capital, Lula stated that his lawyers were submitting a request to the Court to open his banking and telephone secrets and challenged his opponent in the second round, senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), to do the same.
