During the event at Palácio do Planalto, Lula said that the objective of the new regulation is to create a strong and competitive market in Brazil, capable of generating qualified jobs, innovation and attracting international investment:

"We are advancing in the construction of an articulated policy for the sector, connecting technology, culture, education, professional training and economic development around a common objective: strengthening the development of the electronic games industry in Brazil. We are one of the largest consumer markets in the world. In addition to international players, we have studios with great growth potential."

Among the initiatives announced is the creation of higher education courses focused on games at five federal universities and a free, public platform dedicated to the dissemination and promotion of games produced in Brazil:

"Brazil cannot limit itself to being a large consumer market for games created in other countries. We are able to create, develop, finance, export our products, generating qualified jobs, income and innovation."

Still as part of the campaign strategy, Lula sent a letter addressed to evangelical families. In the message, he spoke about religion and cited government actions in defense of families. In the letter, Lula also says that he remains committed to protecting women and combating organized crime. The document was published on social media by the Front of Evangelicals for the Rule of Law.
