Assista ao 9º Programa Eleitoral de Lula Presidente

Do you know how many investigations are being conducted against me today? Zero. The case investigating Flávio Bolsonaro [music] . The Federal Police are investigating corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion. The lying financier is incredibly brazen. A mind that doesn't even feel. It's truly regrettable, isn't it? To have a lying Pinocchio, right? He 's always lying to us and lies every day trying to deceive the Brazilian nation. You have to stay alert. How can we trust a guy like that ? Flávio Bolsonaro. Can you trust this guy [music]? The president's program, which defends the pockets and incomes of Brazilians, begins now. I know very well what it's like to get to the end of the month [music] and not be able to afford a decent grocery shop. Cost of living is a serious matter, and you need to know the truth. [music] Some people promise to lower the price of things, but when he has the pen in his hand, the price of rice and beans will skyrocket. The taxes that were eliminated were for jet skis and private jet music. They handed over the distribution and refining of fuels to foreigners on a silver platter. All of this hurt your wallet, your gas station, and your supermarket budget. Under Bolsonaro's government, everything got more expensive . I remember that beans cost as much as R$12. A 5 kg bag of rice was R$45. A liter of oil was R$12. We lost a lot, didn't we, under his government. It was very negative for me. I didn't like it, I did n't approve of Bolsonaro's government at all . Bolsonaro, never again, not even a thought, never again. Let's be honest. Under Bolsonaro's government, food prices skyrocketed. And I'm going to show you how this has affected and [music] still affects your life. Beans and rice have risen by more than 45%. And hunger returned, unemployment increased. The Bolsonaros privatized fuel distribution and refining at bargain-basement prices . And the value [of music] increased. Lula started the work of restoring people's purchasing power, but you still feel the effects of that in your pocket today, because rebuilding takes time. Let's go. Since 2023, the minimum wage has risen above inflation and unemployment is the lowest in decades. Lula went further, strengthening Petrobras and, even with the world at war, keeping fuel prices down. Finally, we slowed the rate of food price increases, and starting in January, the tax on basic food items will be zero. It will get better. With Lula, you won't lose what you've already achieved, because Lula [music] is on your side. That's the difference. They govern for the millionaires. We govern for you, the worker. [Music] Before Lula, after Lula. Before Lula, after Lula. Before Lula, after Lula, before Lula, after Lul. [music] Before Lula, after Lul. Before Lula, after Lula. Before Lula. After Lula, [music] before Lula, after Lula, before Lula, after Lula, before Lula, after Lula, we eliminated income tax for those earning up to R$ 5,000. [music] It's like a 14th salary. And what are you going to do with that money? I'm going to be my son's Santa Claus this Christmas. I'm going to buy him the bicycle he's been asking for. [music] Hey, I'm going to invest in my pedagogy course. I'm finally going to be able to [make music] and buy the first pieces of furniture for my new house, which is something I've always dreamed of. With the tax reform, we eliminated the tax on basic [music] items and reduced taxes on medicines. It 's not a promise. The tax reform that had been awaited for over 40 years has been approved and will take effect starting January 1st. [sino] Prices will fall. Flávio talks the talk, Lula does the work. Under the Bolsonaros, food inflation was the highest in the last 30 years, at 57%, and it still hurts your wallet today. Lula's government worked on [music] and controlled inflation, but we know it's not easy. That's why Lula will have zero tax on basic food products. Meat, chicken, food, hygiene products tax-free. [Music] Guaranteed lower price and better life. Lula's proposal for your wallet. [music] This proposal is for us. End of the 6-for-1 scale. One more day to rest [music] or to make some extra money for your pocket. This proposal is for me. With the monthly ceiling rising to up to R$ 140,000, your business can grow and generate more money for your pocket. This proposal is for me. And the cashback on [music] taxes. Part of the tax from your electricity, gas, and supermarket bills will go back into your pocket. I know it's not good yet, but I'll make sure it's done. Inflation will remain under control. You will no longer have to pay the fees for the blouses. The minimum wage will always be above inflation. We will invest to generate quality jobs [in music] with better salaries. You know my cause. My cause is Brazil. You and your family. It's Lula for Brazil. [Music] In São Bernardo do Campo, Belo Horizonte, [Music] Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Teresina. [music] Porto Alegre, Curitiba, everyone's on Lula's side. [Music] Lula.
