The campaign of former President Lula da Silva (PT) ended on Sunday (18) in the south of the country with a rally in Florianopolis, which brought together PT militants and other leftist parties in Santa Catarina. 16 years ago, in 2002, when he was elected to his first term, Lula received the most votes in Santa Catarina (1.9 million votes). Support for Luis Enrique da Silveira (MDB) and vice versa. At the same time, LHS was elected governor, defeating Esperidian Amin (PP) in the second round with a difference of 20,000 votes. Amin won the first contest by 298,000 votes.

booed Berger

* During a speech at a Lula da Silva rally in the capital, Senator Dario Berger (PSB), a candidate for re-election, was booed from time to time. Berger has never been a left-wing politician and voted to impeach Dilma Rousseff (PT), who accompanied Lulu on his visit to Santa Catarina. “We are indeed facing serious, relevant facts with consequences,” the senator said at the time. But when Lula recommended Berger’s candidacy, there was silence.

ELECTIONS

* “War” is declared between Esperidiao Amin (PP) and Jorginho Mello (PL) in a dispute over state government. According to the polls (another one from NSC Communications comes out tonight), both have a shot at a runoff. Amin pokes fun at Mello’s speech in favor of introducing tolls on state highways.

* Mello denies this and says the idea comes from Gov. Carlos Moises (Republicans), opponents of both in the election. In fact, there have been 24 SCs mapped since 2021, including SC-108 here in Vale do Itapocu. All of them have direct access to seven federal highways that cross the state. More than three thousand kilometers in total.

* In fact, state highway traffic surveys to determine if tolls are required or not are conducted by the federal government’s Logistics Planning Company. They should (or should) be completed in 2022. With the introduction of tolls at intersections with federal highways.

*Actually, the proposal is not new. It comes from the time of the governor Amin. In the recent past (2017), former Gov. Raymundo Colombo (PSD) reviewed studies in this regard regarding tolls on some of the state’s highways. However, having already discarded the idea of ​​implementing charges during his term.

* Quite a few candidates, with great emphasis on the crowd participating in proportional elections, “make water”. And there is only one reason: there is no money, let’s say, to “revive” the campaigns. In fact, those who have real chances take a fair amount from the Electoral Fund. In any election, they are “chosen”. The rest is a piranha bull.

“Research We Buy”

In 2018, Roberto Requiao, former governor and former MDB senator of Parana, sought re-election. He finished third, joined PT and is a gubernatorial candidate. During an interview with Correio dos Lagos (Western Paraná) newspaper, when asked about the polls indicating a first-round victory for the current governor, Ratinho Junior (PSD), he said: “We buy research. We buy fish from a fishmonger, meat from a butcher, and we buy research from research sites.”

Polls are fake

Claiming that voter polls in Paraná are false as far as the presidential election is concerned, Requiao (on the right of the photo) has no doubts about the intentions of the votes so far indicated by electoral institutions. According to him, Lula da Silva (PT) wins the first round with 60% of the vote. In short, this is true of a friend (Lula), not an enemy (Ratinho Junior). Well, there is nothing new in this. In fact, this serves as a warning to the Supreme Electoral Court. Buying and survey fraud is a crime!
