President Lula, PT's re-election candidate, meets with young elected officials

President Lula, PT's re-election candidate, met with young elected officials on Sunday (4).

The day began with conversations at Palácio da Alvorada. Lula met with the re-elected governor of Piauí, Rafael Fonteles, from the PT. In the early afternoon, President Lula went to a hotel, where he participated in a meeting with PT parliamentarians, following the strategy of increasing mobilization in this second round. Lula recorded videos with young elected officials on Sunday (4) with a large presence on social media.

The federal deputy elected by the PT in Minas Gerais, Ana Elisa, stated that one of the campaign's focuses is to occupy more space on the internet and present Lula's proposals and ideas directly to voters:

"Today, our biggest flyer is on the phone, on the social network. I was voted in the 853 municipalities of Minas Gerais and visited around 20 municipalities. So, it's proof that the social network arrives much earlier than our own bodies in the territories."

Parliamentarians from Psol, Rede and PSB were also invited. The deputies elected by Psol, Jones Manoel and Fábio Felix, said that young people will receive special attention in the second round.

"In the second round, you will basically have one vote, in some states two votes. The states that are in the second round, and the queue will be faster. Voting will be faster, it will be easier. Encourage people to vote more, to ensure compliance with the law", says Jones Manoel, Psol-PE, elected federal deputy.

"Organizing the youth, also organizing a well-qualified intervention on social media, which I think is a demand of the campaign for this second round, and also bringing a very concrete agenda for the Brazilian population to change public policies, which the population is not satisfied with", says Fábio Félix, Psol-DF, elected federal deputy.

At the meeting, Lula reinforced that he wants to approve the proposal that ends the 6x1 scale in the Senate. He also said that he intends to focus on the approval of the Security PEC, which proposes federal coordination with the states in the fight against crime:

"We came to the conclusion that the states, alone, cannot cope. So, we are proposing a change so that the Union can enter into the issue of security, improving the participation of the Federal Police, improving the participation of the Federal Highway Police, improving the participation of the Criminal Police. We are transforming 138 regional prisons, where the Comando Vermelho and the PCC command crime, into maximum security chains, so that we can put an end to crime. And, when we define the approval of the PEC, we are going to approve the Ministry of Public Security, so that we can make the Susp work. And our motto is the following: for the working people, protection; for the criminals, prison".

Earlier, in Rio de Janeiro, without the candidate present, students organized a demonstration in support of Lula in the city center. The concentration was in Candelária and continued for more than 1 km to Cinelândia.
