Former minister and elected federal deputy Mendonza Filhol announced his support for Raquel Lyra’s candidacy for governor of Pernambuco in the second round. Mendonsa thanked for the more than 76,000 votes of confidence he has received and stated that the focus now is on electing Raquel and providing a new direction for our nation. “It has been a very difficult campaign, but Pernambuco has made it clear that he wants change. And our political group with Raquel,” he said.
Mendonza spoke today with the mayors of Belo Jardim, Gilvandro Estrela, Bezerros, Luciel Laurentino and Cupira, José Maria Leite, about supporting the group. Mayor Vertentes Romero Leal supported Raquel Lira in the first round. Mendonza supported the candidacy of former mayor Miguel Coelho in the first round, a competent young man ready and committed to change. Mendonza Filho expressed solidarity with Raquel, who lost her husband Fernando Lucena, who was the victim of a heart attack this Sunday. “This is a moment of pain, may the Lord comfort Raquel and her children,” Mendonsa stressed, remembering that he will be ready to act in whatever is necessary to ensure Raquel’s election victory.
According to Mendonza, the first victory of the opposition has already been: the removal of the PSB from power in the state government. “A historic moment that shows the desire for change. We are now focused on electing Raquel and guaranteeing the change that Pernambuco needs,” he said.
