As mulheres brasileiras não esquecem o sofrimento vivido durante o governo da família Bolsonaro

Under the Bolsonaro family's government, we lived in a Brazil of hospital queues, abandonment, and fear; a Brazil of barbarity. In Brazil, [the song] shows women who had to stand in line for food to feed their families. We will never forget the hundreds of thousands of people who died due to negligence by the Bolsonaro family government during the Covid pandemic. My mother was one of them; she was one of the people Bolsonaro satirized when he imitated shortness of breath. I will not forget. We will not forget. We will never go back to living in a country where the government believes that putting weapons [music] into circulation solves the problem of violence. Because we women know that having guns in the home doesn't mean more protection. The Bolsonaro family's project is a personal project aimed at protecting their own interests and benefiting only themselves. Brazil needs to be governed by those who care for its people, by those who care for working women, single mothers, and young women who dream of going to university. Continuing with President Lula in the presidency of the Republic means continuing the fight for greater equality and more opportunities for the people. [music] It's about continuing to protect women and girls from violence. It is about defending democracy, [music] the sovereignty of our Brazil. Brazil is the Brazil of the future. The future is now. Let's go. We are ready for more with Lula as President. Thanks. [music]
