Brazil is standing strong. And now I invite the singer Juliana de Passos, accompanied by the musicians Romão and Jean Leira, to join me in singing the Brazilian national anthem . And the sun of freedom, in its furious rays, in the sky of the homeland at that instant. The pledge of this equality we managed to conquer with strong arms in your bosom, O liberty, we defy our breast to death itself. Oh beloved and idolized homeland, hail, hail. An intense sound, a vivid ray of love and hope, the earth descends. Its beautiful, smiling, and clear sky, the image of the Southern Cross shines brightly, gigantic by nature itself. You are beautiful, you are as strong as a colossus. And your future mirror, this great golden land, among a thousand others, you are Brazil. Oh beloved homeland, you are the hand of the children of this land. Gentle, beloved homeland Brazil, eternally resting in the splendid glory of God. To the sound of the sea and the light of the deep sky. O Brazil, the flower of America, illuminated by the sun of the new world, than the brightest land. Your dreams, beautiful fields, have more flowers. Our forests are more alive. Our life in your bosom. More love, oh beloved and idolized homeland. Greetings! Brazil, a land of eternal love, may you be a symbol. Oh, you who sit starry one, speak to the green and golden hue of this banner. Peace in the future and glory in the past. But here's the thing. You will see that your son does not shy away from the fight. He who worships you does not fear even death itself. Beloved land. Among a thousand others, they are from Brazil. Oh beloved homeland of the children of this soil, you are a gentle mother, beloved homeland Brazil. Olê, olê olê lá do lá. Yours there, there, there . Or there , there. Now I call upon Angela Albino, the candidate for vice-governor on Lula's team, to offer a word of welcome. Guys, I brought it in writing that I'm not able to pretend to be normal, okay? Never forget that it only takes a political, economic, or religious crisis for women's rights to be questioned. These rights are not permanent. You will need to remain vigilant throughout your life. This reflection, made decades ago, remains profoundly relevant today. Our rights are not permanent; they were won through courage, organization, and struggle. That's precisely why they require daily protection. It is with this awareness that vigilance must be constant that I stand alongside Gelson Merízio and Luís Inácio Lula da Silva. And I received with great honor and gratitude, Mr. President, the nomination to be a candidate for vice-governor of Santa Catarina representing the democratic field. I am fully aware of the responsibility that this mission represents, because this candidacy does not belong to me. It belongs to everyone who believes in democracy as the best path to a just society. It belongs to the women who forged paths when they had no choice. It belongs to the women who tried to choose their own destinies, those who faced prejudice in order to study, work, vote, and lead. And above all, it belongs to the girls who need to grow up knowing that there is a place for all of us wherever we want to be. We live in a time when they are trying to transform politics into a space of fear and intolerance. We, however, choose dialogue, we choose fraternity, we choose tolerance, and we choose solidarity with those who wish to transform Santa Catarina into a cradle of fascism. We replied, Mr. President, that this is the land of Eglê Malheiros and Clair Castilhos, of Salim Miguel and Cau Cancelier. This is the land of Manuel Dias, Mescoloto and Antonieta de Barros. It is the land of Eline, Fernanda, Sida, Luc, Merío, Dérécio, and Afrânio. This is our land that in 2002 gave the highest percentage of votes to Luís Inácio Lula da Silva. Right now I'm thinking about our grandmothers, I'm thinking about those who came before us. They belonged to a generation that couldn't say no, not for lack of dreams or bravery, but because the world refused to allow them to say yes. Today I can choose. Today we can choose. And I choose to say yes. I choose to say yes to democracy. I choose to say yes to brotherhood. I choose to say yes to the place that all women desire and deserve to have. And I choose to say yes to Gelson Merío, to Fran Bré, to Dércio Lima, and I choose to say yes to Luís Inácio Lula da Silva. Hello there . Olê olê olê. I want my Santa Catarina back, without racism, without fascism, without this radicalism that shames our people and fills me with outrage. I will side with those who are more humane and against the spread of hatred. We will not pass by, I do n't want to be adoring this land, spreading injustice and promoting war. Our team has two valuable names: To and Afânio, who are running for senator. Each with their own story in the people's struggle. These guys have the moral authority to represent me. They have already shown that they defend our democracy, unlike those who make empty promises. Bolsonar and Bolsonaro can go [ __ ] themselves. Hey, Bolsonaro, go [ __ ] yourself. Hey, Bolsonaro, go [ __ ] yourself. Hey, Bolsonaro, go [ __ ] yourself . Now call on the Senate candidate, Afrânio Bpré. Brazilian warrior of the Brazilian people. Warrior of the Brazilian people. The Brazilian people. For the Brazilian people. Brazilian. Dear comrades, good morning, a hug and a kiss to all these beautiful people. I was here watching this light rain that isn't stopping us from campaigning, and I remembered that in 1992, when we formed a left-wing alliance, it also rained a lot at the last rally, and I was here to guarantee the victory. from the left in the Florianópolis election. The victory of the great mayor and Afrânio as vice-mayor, and also President Lula, on a rainy day, and no amount of rain can take away our victory. Comrades, I want to have a very objective conversation. The far-right, with its fascist aspirations, has two plans for this election . Plan A is to do everything, absolutely everything, morning, noon, night, and in the early hours of the morning, hand in hand with Donald Trump and American imperialism. Don't let President Lula win this election. But this far-right Plan A isn't going to work. We will elect Lula in the first round. Olê, olê olê olá. Fight, fight, it was a fight. Since they know their Plan A has already failed, they're going to pull out Plan B. What is the far-right's Plan B in Brazil? The goal is to elect as many senators and federal representatives as possible in Brazil. For what purpose? The objective is to sabotage President Lula's government, to prevent President Lula from governing. And me, my dear running mate, Décio Lima. Décio Lima, come here, please. Dio Lima and I have already made a commitment, a pact. Lima and I are going to send Carlucho back to Rio de Janeiro. My first vote is 13 for the Senate. Then I'll vote for mine. But, dear friend D, someone might ask: "If we defeat Carlucho, is our homework done?" No. Because that woman who is a federal congresswoman and who voted against the 6-for-1 work schedule in Congress, she cannot be a senator for Santa Catarina. He can't, just like Espirdião Amim, who never fooled me, a son of the dictatorship, who always wants to grant amnesty to get coup plotters out of jail, get Jair Bolsonaro out of jail, he also won't be a senator for Santa Catarina. It's a banana tree that has already produced a bunch of bananas. It's a banana tree that has already produced a bunch of bananas. Therefore, Dcio, I want to say this: to defeat the far right, I know the secret to victory. It's voting for Lula's team from start to finish, from beginning to end. Federal deputy, state deputy, senator one, senator two, Merígio and Ângela for the second round. And President Lula, in the first round, is a four-time champion. It's a four-peat. Olê, olê olê, olá. Lula, Lular. People, those who vote for Afrânio 500 are voting for Décio Lima 133. Those who vote for Décio Lima 13, are voting for Afrânio 500. That's the secret to our ticket's victory. Comrades, to conclude, let's go. I'm not mistaken. I'm with D and Afrân. I'm with Afrâno. I'm with Lula, and I'm not mistaken. I'm with Décio and Afrâno. Dear comrades, no one lets go of anyone's hand. Let's go for the victory. It's Lula, Petra, Meirio, Afrho, Décio, we're all in this together. Thank you very much and a kiss to your heart. We're in this together. Amistia semistia semistia. I want my Santa Catarina back, without racism, without fascism, without this radicalism that shames our people and fills me with revolts. I will side with whoever is more humane. And hate speech is not tolerated. I don't want to laugh this year, worshipping this land, spreading injustice, and promoting faith. Put two valuable players on our team . We have Afrânio for senator. Each one with a history in the people's struggle. These guys have the moral authority to represent me. They have already shown that they defend our democracy. Unlike a Zari of empty promises. Resistance will also come. So, this year there are two votes, guys. As Frânio said, it's important to vote. Those who vote for Frânio vote for him, those who vote for Frânio vote for him. So, let's welcome our second candidate for the Senate, Décio Lima. President Lola, my dear Janja, here in Tancredo Neves Square, here in our Santa Catarina, you are in the presence of the indispensable, as in the poetry of Bertoldo Brest. Those who will change the history of our state, those who bend but do not break, those who do not resign themselves. Here are the strong ones who wake up in the morning and resist in defense of humanist values. It is an honor, President Lula, to have you here at this moment to be embraced by Santa Catarina, by the people moved by love, by passion, by commitment to the agenda of inclusion, in defense of women, in defense of everything that we belong to in this journey. But I also want to say, President Lula, to you and dear Janja, you were here in Tancredo Neves Square when I was a candidate for governor in 2022. Merígio was coordinating our campaign, and I said here that we were going to the second round of the elections back then. And I want to say here today, looking at all of you, because few believed in the events that led us to the second round. I want to tell you very clearly, President Lula will be elected in the first round for his fourth term. I want to tell you that we are going to win both Senate seats, me and Fran. I want to tell you that Meríio and Ângela Albino are guaranteed a spot in the second round, based on the polls we've been discussing. But, President Lula, I couldn't use this microphone without offering you a word called gratitude. Mr. President, thank you, Mr. President, for an immense list of historical events. Thank you because you are the only Brazilian elected president of the Republic three times, and this will be your fourth time. Thank you, President Lula, because you are a migrant from the Northeast who left the harsh Northeast to avoid dying of thirst. You spent 18 years on a factory floor, and so when you first sat in the chair of President of the Republic, you carried with you the wounds of our people, wounds that you bore on your own skin. I also want to express my gratitude to President Lula for everything he has given to Santa Catarina. I'm very happy, I do n't even need to say it. Maybe I was happy about his other terms, but during these 3 years, President Lula came here to Santa Catarina and delivered projects, the first of which was the Florianópolis bypass, with resources that were provided by the BNDES. The people of Santa Catarina were bitter; years passed and we didn't have a solution for this road bottleneck. I want to thank you because Bolsonaro's supporters plundered the port of Itajaí, and you brought the port back to the people of Santa Catarina. I want to thank the Lord for his third visit to Santa Catarina in the last 3 years. I would like to thank you for what you brought to our state in the recovery of the shipbuilding industry with 2.5 billion during your last visit to Santa Catarina, which, Mr. President, is already impacting the consolidation of more than 23,000 jobs in the shipbuilding sector here in our state. Therefore, I also want to say this and ask you to reflect on it. During that period, we weren't even received by the current governor. During that period, they only exploited their pettiness , their hatred, and their shamelessness. I also want to say at this moment that President Lula's history with Santa Catarina is one of fantastic results in changing the lives of our people. Of the 41 federal institutes. It was President Lula who consolidated the 34th [referring to a political figure]. President Lula, for you young people, brought to us, to education, the nest egg that has already included 115 young people, and has already changed the school dropout rate by 26%. President Lula is the one who has the greatness to bring to our state everything that we need and that they denied us. Now, President Lula, it's good that you also know, the previous government came to Santa Catarina to parade around on jet skis. He came to Santa Catarina to ride a motorcycle. No, sir, you came to deliver, you came to improve our lives in the government of comparison, Mr. President. During this period, with the previous government, you have already delivered five times more to our state compared to the genocidal misgovernment, that government that despised the people of Santa Catarina, five times more in that calculation that we can examine. and to rationalize that statement. Therefore, I want to ask you, these are perhaps the most important elections in democracy. I want to ask you, during this period, to be moved by what the philosopher Spinoza taught us, moved by passion, moved by optimism, because this event here in Tancredo Neves Square is a historic event. For democracy, for sovereignty, for inclusion, which is what President Lula represents. I conclude by telling you that the numbers show all these possibilities of Lula winning in the first round, Merio winning in the second round, and us securing the two Senate seats, thus expanding our representation in the federal caucus. which currently only has Pedro Quizia and Ana Paula to expand the state delegations. The numbers show it, but we need this passionate fight that you are demonstrating here in Tancredo Neves Square, which not even the rains could stop us from being here today to guarantee the results we need for our country and for democracy. Olê olê olê lá lá. God, very good, folks. Now welcome the Gruvice group from Florianópolis. He was just another Silva with the star player working all day. He took care of his family. He was born in the backlands, then went back to São Paulo. And from here, history was made, giving Brazilians something to dream about. He wore his best shirt for the punishment photo. He climbed onto the table, spoke to the crowd, gathered around , stopped, the place was packed , his eyes were shining, the people were all around him, and it was just more of Silvar, a star that shone brightly. He is Brazilian, hardworking, and family-oriented. He always looked out for those who were abandoned, those without a home, food, a job, everything that was sacred. And we understood that Silva was different. It has the soul of the people and it reflects our spirit . They tried to bring him down, they tried to silence him. He confronted the system and made the people prosper. Never bow your head, always defend the nation. All it takes is faith in goodness, and Brazil in your heart. It's Lula da Silva, the star is shining. He is Brazilian, hardworking, and family-oriented. It's Lula da Silva, the star that shines. He is Brazilian, hardworking, and family-oriented. It's Lula da Silva, he's the star that shines. He is a Brazilian working with his family. And now, representing the strength of women throughout Brazil, our colleague... Good morning, Floripa. It's beautiful, everyone. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. We've been here for almost two weeks, right, D? It was a shame to come here, and Saint Peter wasn't helping, but Saint Peter gave us a little time, and here we are, it's beautiful. Thank you, thank you very much to the comrades from Santa Catarina who are here today for this important meeting with the president. And I always get emotional when I'm here in Santa Catarina. First, for those who don't know, this is the state where I was born. My parents lived in União da Vitória, and there were no maternity hospitals there. And when my mother and I started saying, "Mom, I want to go out into the world." She crossed the train tracks and went to Porto União, where the maternity hospital was located. So, by birth, I'm from Santa Catarina, and I'm very happy to be here today. I am grateful for the maternity ward in Porto União. I was registered in União da Vitória because my parents lived there, but my heart belongs to Santa Catarina. And there's another reason that's at play. Thank you, everyone. There's another reason that really affects me. I worked for 3 years in Anita Garibaldi. Is there anyone from the West here? I worked in Anita Garibaldi for 3 years, and it was a very special place and time in my life, where I became very involved with the family farming sector . And here I wanted to give a very warm hug to the women farmers of the family farming community. This is the international year of the family farmer, Mr. President. And in November, President Lula and I will be at FA, paying a beautiful tribute to the family farmers. So, I wanted to give you a big hug and say, Mr. President, that I am very proud that you chose a woman to succeed Minister Paulo Teixeira . Minister Fernanda Maquiaveli, a kiss, Fernanda. I know you're listening to us, so a kiss. I know that agriculture is a powerful engine in the state of Santa Catarina, especially family farming. I'm not going to spoil what the president will say about this, but I have a very special affection for farmers, and especially female farmers. And there's another reason that really affects me when I come to Santa Catarina or when I see the news from here. And that's what I want to talk about today: resistance. Our comrades who live here in Santa Catarina, Décio, live in a state considered the most conservative in Brazil, the only state in Brazil with a governor from the main far-right party, a state dominated by Bolsonaro's ideology and the seeds of evil planted and cultivated by them. You resist, no matter what happens, you are here today once again resisting, resisting and saying it loud and clear. We stand with Lula, and you Bolsonaro supporters will not intimidate us. They won't, they won't. I know many of you have heard absurd things from loved ones who have been co -opted by Bolsonaro's ideology, but you resist. I know there are people here who have already been fired or threatened with dismissal for supporting President Lula and continue to resist. I know there are people who left Santa Catarina because they couldn't live in a state dominated by Bolsonaro's ideology. That's an understandable attitude, because for many, living in such a hostile environment, and especially for us women, is debilitating. Hostile to what we think, to what we stand for, to who we are. I understand and respect those who choose to leave, but I need to say here that I immensely admire those who choose to stay and fight. You who are here today are the voice and heart of President Lula in every city of this state. And I wanted to ask, women and girls, raise your hand. I get so happy when I see this photo. Estuca, take that picture, please. It's very beautiful. Let's keep our hands raised, everyone. Women and girls. You know that we are the majority of the population, and I have always said, we women are the guardians of democracy. In the land of Anita Garibaldi, I am certain that we are surrounded by women of struggle, women who resist, who make the revolution. And for resisting and remaining here alongside President Lula in the battle for the fourth title, I thank you and ask for a round of applause for each and every one of you. You are an inspiration, women and girls. We know that there are people who have voted for the Bolsonaro family or representatives of Bolsonarism and, over the years, have realized that this family never had a project for Brazil, that they never cared about the people. Our candidate for governor, Merízio, is an example of this. He supported Naro way back then, and now he's here on our side. And that. And together we continue to make Santa Catarina a much better place for the people of Santa Catarina. Folks, we have two weeks until the first round of voting, and dialogue is crucial for winning hearts and minds. It is through conversation and by showing what President Lula has already done for the Brazilian people that we will move forward. There are people who vote for the other side and won't change their minds. We know that. But there are many, many people who are still undecided, who are discouraged, who don't know if they're going to vote. especially the elderly. We need to talk to our grandparents, our uncles, our parents so that they will vote. It's very important. And also those who haven't yet decided who to vote for. That's why I'm making a general call to action here, folks. Let's enter the field through dialogue. We, thankfully Lula's team, are not a one-man team. Lula's team is a team of millions, millions, millions of Brazilian men and women. And that's why we have to get back on the field to continue building a future, a present, and a future with dignity for ourselves and our families. Let's have educational conversations, people, there's no need to start by arguing. I have educational conversations. Make the person you're talking to realize that they share the same ideals as President Lula, that they believe in the power of his public policies. Ask: "Dad, do you agree that those who earn more should pay more taxes?" Grandpa, Grandma, what do you think about not having to pay for that blood pressure medication, and having free access to medicines from the public pharmacy? Talk to your daughter, niece, or that young woman who is going to vote for the first time. Tell her what it means to practice democracy. Tell her that there are people on the other side who say that women don't have the right to vote, that women shouldn't have a voice, shouldn't have a say. Tell that teenager, who is going to vote for the first time, about the importance of people like her having access to free, quality education, about how valuable it is to be able to study whatever she wants at a federal university or the Federal Institute, Décio, so she can dream and achieve her dreams. That's what we want, to fulfill our dreams. Ask that aunt who insists on saying she's on the other side, that the other side is better. What does she think about having two days off a week so she can spend more time with her children and family? We know that the other side is the 7x0 scale. The other day, Mr. President, I saw a company—I think it was a supermarket, no, I don't remember where—where the employees work on a 9-10-hour shift schedule , doing a lot of overtime. The boss forced him. And that. Show her that the Bolsonaro family is against ending the 6-to-1 work schedule. The Bolsonaro family doesn't care at all about when she works, how much she goes to great lengths, about working, about taking care of the children, the house, her parents, taking care of herself, about living. That's why we fight so hard for the end of the 6-for-1 work schedule, because it will be important for us women. We women, who sometimes work three shifts, three workdays, arrive home exhausted, and still have to clean everything. I know that very well. Well, anyway, ask that coworker who lost almost everything to gambling, who 's in debt because he plays for the "tiger" (a derogatory term for a rival team), if he wants a president who fights for well-being, for his quality of life, away from addiction and debt, or if he prefers one who just wants to see him suffer more and more, which is what the other side wants. We know. Tell that Bolsonaro-supporting friend of yours that we live in constant fear, both inside and outside our homes. Does she want a president who works for more security and freedom, or does she prefer one who favors more guns on the streets and in our homes, who sees women only as someone who serves to take care of men in old age? That's not what we want. So, guys, let's talk, let's exchange ideas, boys. Place the QR code on the panel. Oh, guys, this QR code opens the phone, puts it in the photo , guys, I was feeling sick over there. Firefighters please, someone is feeling unwell in the public, please. It'll be there soon , folks. Let's remove the person, folks, please, comrades. OK. Just a little bit, guys. Let's wait and see what happened, everyone? Here's another one. Okay, everyone. Support your partner who is feeling unwell. The firefighter will be there soon, okay? We have a team of firefighters here for that. Speaking is different. Son liv. So, folks, just to finish up here, the president is already giving me a dirty look. Hmm. A sour face to me means hunger. Oh, you open your phone's camera and put that QR code there. Go to the page lula.com.br/comparativo. It has everything, everything that President Lula did in all areas: education, health, the economy, industry and commerce, and agriculture. You know that Santa Catarina is the place with the most access to PRONAF, in short, it's the leader. So, compare them, and you'll find these cards and compare them to what Naro did. I mean, he didn't do anything, right? His card is blank, obviously, because he hasn't done anything. So, folks, compare, discuss. That's it, folks. The day is approaching. Let's go up . Let's go all out in this final stretch. Let's talk. Let's talk and then let's go for it. Let's go on October 4th with strength, with courage, with determination. You all here are resistance, and I give a shout-out to everyone who's here today, because we know how important you are to this state. Thank you very much. Big kisses, everyone. It's Lula, it's a fourth title. I want my Santa Catarina to be free of racism, fascism, and this radicalism that shames our people and fills me with resentment. They shall not pass, I will not give up the fight. I will not allow my state to take over. Hypocrisy doesn't thrive on this ground. We will exist. Who are you to tell me the way? President Lula. We're going all out to do what's best for Santa Catarina. We will push back the far right, come into the government, and have the courage to change. Our mission is what President Lula did for J. He comes with the mission of working for us, personally chosen by our president. Resistance will not prevail. They will not give up the fight. We will be existence. also. Now I call forward our next governor of Santa Catarina, Gelson Merício. My friends, I want to greet my dear friend President Lula, Janja, his wife, my running mate Ângela Albino, esteemed Décio Lima and Fran Bré, and Márcia, my wife who is accompanying me. And I want to begin by thanking all the women of Santa Catarina, the women who are here, because it is they, President Lula, who are giving us the necessary impetus to begin a process of resistance, because Santa Catarina needs this. I want to quickly tell you why and how I am a candidate in Santa Catarina. I had been out of the political process since 2018, and President Lula, whom I met in March 2022, where I sincerely found a friend, became an admirer, and in those 4 years I followed all his efforts to recover Brazil, to bring projects to Santa Catarina, even though when he came here he was not received by the state governor, even though he did not have the opportunity to be heard by the people of Santa Catarina and to be able to dialogue with the people who always helped and always supported him. But he called me a little over 90 days ago and told me something that completely changed my life and my decision for this election. He told me that more than just an election in Santa Catarina, we had a mission: to prevent Bolsonaro's supporters from creating a platform for resurrection here, because they are going to lose this election. They sent their two children here. They want to usurp the values ​​of Santa Catarina, they want to usurp the indicators that we have built over time to say that the state that succeeded is the state that they built. They didn't build anything. It was built by the people of Santa Catarina. The people of Santa Catarina stood with President Lula during his first 8 years in office. The people of Santa Catarina, together with these last 4 years of projects and achievements. Hey, Mr. President? I want to speak to everyone who is here. First, thank you. Someone here is feeling unwell. Don't worry, everything will be alright. Obrigado team, we're almost there. OK, that's it. Folks, I want to first thank everyone on the left who welcomed me and understood the mission I have here in the state. And the first and foremost of these is to help President Lula be heard by the people of Santa Catarina, to allow people here in the state to recognize all his effort and all his work. This is my mission, and rest assured, Mr. President, that we will do this until the very last minute of the 4th so that we can contribute to your re-election here in the state, allowing you to come to Santa Catarina and bring the projects that the state needs. And I have to tell you something that shows how harmful this true tragedy perpetrated by the current government is for Santa Catarina. They built a process for granting concessions for the highways. When President Lula was elected, the state governor went there and removed the highways from Santa Catarina. 24 billion reais that were promised and guaranteed for Santa Catarina were lost due to a political, partisan, and ideological process. The neighboring state of Paraná continued the projects where they should have been and has already invested R $ 8 billion over these 4 years. This is what we must strive for in our state: to reconnect Santa Catarina with Brazil, to reconnect the state government with President Lula's government, and to implement and bring to our people the public works, services, and dignity that everyone needs. The women of Santa Catarina, represented here today by Fernanda, who was brutally attacked in Jaraguá do Sul, were not an isolated incident. Because when you preach hatred, when you preach division, when you preach racism, you reap attitudes like those that occurred. This is not our Santa Catarina. The message they are taking to the state is not ours. We are not a violent people, we are not a racist people. We welcome immigrants, and they want to show the opposite to feed the bubble in which they were raised. We will not allow it. We will resist and we will have a great election here in the state with President Lula to show Brazil that this is not a right-wing state, it is not a far-right state. Here is a state of good, hardworking people who will elect President Lula. Big hug to all of you. Make some noise, guys. This is Lula's team and Santa Catarina. We will show our strength, our resilience, and demonstrate that Santa Catarina is not fascist. Come on, Lula. Come on, Lula. We ca n't hear it, guys. Higher, higher, so we can take really beautiful pictures and show that we can resist in this state. Setan, so worldly, he never cowered. He carried in his heart the pain of those who dreamed of him, he brought out the darkness in Brazil, he restored hope. Today the whole planet is watching your walk. He carried out the entire prison with the same force, the same passion. It 's not just a man, it's a voice that hasn't been silenced. It is the love of the people who never gave up . And when the doors opened on the other side of the sea, the whole world stopped to watch. Red carpet treatment for the son of the Northeast. Red carpet for those who never forget. Where does it come from for those who fight for us? Lula, president, pride of Brazil. May the reading of this song from heaven, let the world know that it has respect. It's not just politics, it's about feelings. It's a Brazil that rises up when you show up. How many times have they tried to bring you down, but the more you fell, the stronger you would come back. It was born from the tears of the people. His courage was born from simple hope, and so was his greatness. Today the children sing, they should smile because they know that a turn tomorrow is ours. You didn't come here to shine alone, you came to light the light that was extinguished. May God protect you, warrior Lula. History puts you in the right place. It doesn't need to be a throne color. His greatest asset. He will be loved by the people. Red carpet treatment for the son of the Northeast. Red carpet for those who walk the red carpet, as long as there is a Brazilian dreaming. There will be squid on the chest, there will be Brazil singing. Lula, moon. Brazil truly loves you , moon, a story that will never be overshadowed. Lula, my president. There, my president. May this red carpet be just the beginning, because the real carpet is the ground in Brazil that you helped to build and rebuild. Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The time has come. Let's listen to one of the greatest leaders in the democratic world, the man who gave us the right to dream and to achieve. the greatest representative of the Brazilian people. I ask that you welcome our President of the Republic, Luís Inácio Lula da Silva, with great joy. Comrades from Santa Catarina. It is with great joy that I return to this state to ask for your vote, and also to help elect Coerívio, governor of this state, Défilio and Afran, senators of the Republic. But first I wanted to have a conversation with you all before giving a speech, a serious conversation. So I'll start by telling you, prepare your hearts for the things I'm about to tell you. I come from the backlands. I come from the backlands and I might not please you. Well, I used to start singing that song at the ministers' meetings to scare the ministers . When I spoke, "Prepare your heart for the things I'm about to tell you," the ministers would wonder, "What's he going to bring up next?" But there's something important I wanted to tell you. What I'm about to tell you is very important. For the past two months, I've been discussing the role of electronic gambling through digital networks in betting, which is leading many people into debt. I don't know who, but I 'm sure that in this audience there are people who are in debt and can no longer pay their debts. And when someone is in debt, with debt from gambling, people don't have the courage to say so, they lie. Wife lies to husband, husband lies to wife, son and daughter lie to mother and father. The father and mother lie for their son. When the debt is due to gambling. The only debt that makes us proud is when we take on debt to buy something to eat or to increase our assets, to improve our lives. But gambling debts are not something we can accept. Well, this country prohibits cockfighting. This country prohibits bird fighting. This country banned women from wearing bikinis on the beach once. This country prohibits the jogo do bicho (animal lottery). This country bans cachaça. But the illegal lottery, the jogo do bicho, entered our home. via mobile phone. And there are many people who can't stop their gambling addiction because they are led to believe they will win. And this week I had a meeting, the most memorable meeting of my life. I gathered eight people together, eight people who were indebted to Beto. One of them, a merchant, lost R$ 2,200,000; he was in debt. He sold his property, he sold his car, he even sold his father's land. I met another young woman, 27 years old, a businesswoman, who lost 730,000 and is in debt. I've met people who work with me at Palhaço Davorada who owe R$10,000 and can't pay it, and even those who owe R$50,000 they still can't pay. I knew a woman whose 26-year-old son hanged himself because he couldn't pay off a debt he'd incurred gambling, betting, and trying his luck. And I made a decision, if it were up to me, I've already had some meetings, I'm going to talk to my people at the farm, I'm going to talk to my people at the Central Bank, but the truth is that I want to put an end to the petos. Now it 's important that we are prepared because they are people with a lot of money, they finance a lot of advertising. And the day before yesterday, the football teams wrote a letter saying that if I end betting, I'll end football, Mío. And then God brought me a message. These people are lying because São Paulo won the world championship three times without Tebete. Flamengo became world champions without Betet. Santos were crowned world champions without a bet. Corinthians were crowned world champions without a bet. Internacional of Porto Alegre was world champion, Grêmio was world champion, without a bet, the Brazilian team was champion in '58 without a bet. He was world champion in '62, no bet, he was world champion in '70, no bet. It was four in 94, without a bet. and it was lost in 2002 without a bet. After the betting started, we didn't win another World Cup. So it's a lie to say that it will end betting, it will end football. What football cannot do is try to survive at the expense of poor people who already support the team, already go to the stadium, and still have to spend money betting so the team can make money. That 's not correct. We've already authorized clubs to become businesses, to make money, to do whatever they want. What you can't do is bet that poor people will pay the wager and lose. Therefore, comrades, I am determined. If it were up to me, I would put an end to gambling in this country. I will not allow people to continue going into debt, I will not allow people to continue killing each other. A young woman attempted suicide three times by cutting her wrists. Another young woman would get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom to place bets so her husband wouldn't find out. There was one who would take a bath while betting so her husband wouldn't find out. In other words, we cannot allow Brazilian society to self-destruct. What we really need are other things. Instead of gambling, it's about betting on the approval of the end of the pay scale, done for one, so that people can work less and earn more. What we need is to invest in the education of our girls and boys. so that they can have a profession and a job with a more qualified salary. And that's what they don't want. This is the first thing I wanted to tell you, and I hope I can count on your support. Anyone who thinks I should shut down the betas, please raise your hand . Where's the stucco so I can take a picture? Where? From up here. You'll have to climb up from here to take a picture. Where's the photo? Let's raise our hands. Both hands. Finally, completely. Finish, complete. Acabete is important, folks, because it's a serious problem for this country. Who doesn't want us to put an end to betting? Television that receives advertising. Some influencers who got rich by encouraging people to gamble. and the businessmen. Now, what I really want is this: What I want is to put an end to betting. If I put an end to gambling, I don't need to put an end to the bets; they'll end on their own, because they only exist because of gambling. So, it's not possible. It's impossible to enrich one person while impoverishing a million, or enriching two. to impoverish society. So, comrades, this is the first topic I wanted to discuss with you. The second topic is about femicide. This is a very serious matter. I'll tell a story. Every morning I go to have coffee with Janja and she's on her phone, because she's also one of those people who keeps their finger on their phone just like you guys. And she keeps crying because the woman was assaulted in the elevator, because the woman was assaulted in the car, because some jerk dragged the woman for 1 km, because another one threw 60 fireworks in the woman's face, because another one locked the woman and three children inside a house while she was pregnant and the husband set the house on fire with the woman inside. In other words, we created a pact against femicide. The president of the Supreme Court, the president of the Senate, the president of the Republic. And since we created it in February, we have already approved 11 laws, issued three decrees, and three ordinances. And we're going to take this very seriously; there will be a lot to do to protect women. And the message I can give to good men is to help this campaign, because the fight against violence against our female companions is not theirs, it's ours. We, the aggressors, are men. I 'm addressing good men, good men who know how to respect their wives, who know how to respect their partners, who know that fighting at home isn't good for the child to witness the couple fighting. The son would like to see the husband helping the wife take care of the house, the husband washing dishes with the wife, the husband cooking on the stove, because women have already learned to succeed in the job market, but we husbands still haven't learned to go to the kitchen, to clean up after our children. I'm not talking about envy in relation to anyone, I'm talking about us, and I'm siding with men. It's important that we get re-educated so we learn that our women are not our property. I wanted to ask all decent men , those who were raised with respect by their parents, to understand that men are not superior to women. that we are equal and, therefore, women should earn the same salary as men if they perform the same job. We need to learn that women are the most important caregivers in this world. That man who thinks that the woman is his property, that he controls her. When he was rude to the woman, he should have remembered that he wasn't born of the earth, he was born from a woman's womb. So I wanted to ask all my comrades, the union members, when you go to the factory gates, the shops, the banks, to give speeches for the wage campaign, talk about femicide, defend women, be their partners, because the fight isn't just theirs, the fight is ours. When she raises her hand, she raises her hand to caress, to do what a woman does. There's nothing better than passing on the harmony of the couple to your children. It costs nothing to get up in the morning and give your wife a kiss. It costs nothing. I used to be ashamed. Now you see, I've already kissed Jeanja twice here on stage, because we have to send a message to people. So here's the thing, look, the laws are going to get tougher and tougher. I'm warning you now about the electronic ankle monitor on my foot that it hits women. If he gets close, the woman will know he's nearby, he'll be arrested, and we'll increase his sentence. I'm going to increase the sentence because of the world that Dona Lindu created for me, a single woman who came from Pernambuco to find her husband in São Paulo. She arrived in São Paulo with eight children; my father was already married to someone else and already had four children. My mother went to live with eight children. Amen. Each one sold what they could sell. Tapioca, orange, medoim, everything. And she raised eight children and never looked at my father again. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying this because anyone who hits women and then wants women is lacking something: character. He did not receive the proper upbringing from the cradle. Because jealousy isn't a disease, jealousy is a lack of character. My mother used to say: "My son, if you get married and one day you fight with your wife, never raise a hand to her. Leave the house and leave your wife in peace, because she is not yours. She is not yours. She only married you, but she is not your property. And if you don't treat her well, she has no right to live with you. And look, folks, it's the woman who works like a dog. Because when the child is sick, it's the woman who goes to the hospital with the child. When the husband is sick, it's the woman who goes to the hospital . When her father is sick, it's the woman who goes to the hospital. When the mother is sick, it's the woman who goes to the hospital. When the grandfather is sick, it's the woman who takes them to the hospital. When grandma is sick, it's the woman. And we stay at home, sometimes we just lie on the sofa. Honey, bring me a cold beer. Oh honey, bring me some coffee. Honey, bring me my underwear. Honey, bring me my towel. And when women have awareness, they will shout: "Love, it's going to get you." Honey, the fridge is over there, the towel is over there, because that way we don't learn the same way you educate your children, you have to educate your husbands, because we're going to mess things up, we're cheeky. We got home, put on our shorts, put on our shorts, cut the [ __ ] on the couch, lifted our legs up high and started making out, love, love, what channel, I'm on reboot, he wants to get it. So I wanted to tell you, women are the majority in society, only the majority. If you want to, you can teach the world. That's why women have to vote for women in elections, but women from our team. He won't vote for a woman from the opposing team. Don't vote for a woman from the opposing team, because otherwise you'll put a fox in charge of our chicken coops. So it's important to know who our state representatives and federal representatives are, and to vote. That's the second message I wanted to give you, okay? I wanted the following, but this is only for men. Now, women, don't raise your hand. Men who are going to join this fight against femicide, please raise your hand. Who will help our friend? so as not to be violated, you know? Well, you realize that most men are also good people, men who want to take care of their partners. This is the second topic I wanted to talk about. This is the third topic I wanted to talk to you about. Third topic. You know, you know there are some people who don't vote with us because they don't like us. That's normal. No one is obligated to vote for anyone. Now, what people cannot do is be liars. It's about being liars. I'm looking at your faces. I'm looking at the face of a young woman here who's been staring at me ever since I got here. I'm looking at her face too. I'm also looking at this lady who's here, who already has a white streak in her hair . I'm looking at this guy who's got my little toy over there . on the chest. Look how funny. Look how funny this country is. I wanted you to study, and I wanted you to learn about the proclamation of the Republic. There are a lot of teachers here, aren't there? Professors, get the teachers and the press to do some research to disprove me. Get it from Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca, who was elected president of the Republic. He wasn't elected; they staged a coup against Dom Pedro and installed him as president. Starting November 15, 1889. Look, I put it in the last century, and take all the presidents of the Republic, all civilian, military, whoever you want, and analyze at what point in history there was a policy of social inclusion in this country. Analyze it, because we can educate the people. Analyze at what point in history this country had a policy of social inclusion, because this country had such a conservative elite that the first Brazilian federal university only emerged 420 years after the discovery of Brazil. Look at the historical difference. Columbus arrived in the Americas in 1492. His small boat landed in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, in 1492. By 1532, the first university was already established in Santo Domingo, 40 years later. Cabral arrived here in 1500. Our first university only came in 1400, 1920. Why? And the university that was created, the University of Brazil, it was created because the king, the king of Belgium, was coming to Brazil, and the king could only come if he had an honorary doctorate from Caldas. It wasn't even a [ __ ] tail they created. So, what happened, folks? It happened because the elite that ruled this country never wanted our people to study. We had a majority of indigenous people who were decimated. Then we had a Black population that had been enslaved for 350 years. Neither indigenous people, nor black people, nor poor people needed to study. They had to educate their children, whom they sent to London. To Paris, to Boston, to Washington, to New York, to Madrid, to Coimbra. And we had to cut sugarcane, we had to be bricklayers, bricklayer's assistants . We were not given the right to be engineers. Then take precautions. I am the first president of this country who does not have a university degree. I am a lathe operator. It took, it really took, it took someone who doesn't have a university degree, but has a diploma in the social function of this country, to be the president who created the most universities in the history of this country, who created the most federal institutes in the history of this country, who invested the most in technology in the history of this country. Do you think Petrobras discovered the pre-salt layer because Petrobras wanted to? No. Petrobras discovered it because it had to invest in research. And anyone who is a professor knows that research is an investment. Even though sometimes we don't discover anything, it's still an investment. And if we didn't do it, we wouldn't find oil at depths of 6,000 to 1,000 meters . We are now on the equatorial margin, which is 575 km from the edge of the state of Amazonas and 175 km from the edge of Amapá. We've now reached depths of 7,000 meters and found oil that's even better than what's in the pre-salt layer. Man, this is going to be the new passport to the future for this country, because the money from this oil is for education, it's part of technology, and it's for health. This oil is for forming the genes of this country. Because we don't want artificial intelligence in Chinese or English, we want it in Portuguese. Yesterday I received some very good news. The Brazilian engineer, son of Proi, went to Pequi to compete against all the students from around the world who participated. Do you know who came in first place? A Brazilian boy from Sampambai in Brasília won the world title, you know, among all the engineers who were competing. Do you know why I'm saying this? I'm saying this because we are no less than anyone else. We are no more stupid than anyone else. What we lacked was opportunity. I would have liked to have been a doctor, but I didn't have the means, I didn't have the faith. So I, apa, I became a mechanical bullfighter, and because I didn't study, I want everyone in this country to be able to study. This is the future of the country. This is the future of the country. It's about preparing our youth to transform the country into a competitive nation, focused on quality and productivity. We are no less than anyone else, and we prove it when we have the chance. Therefore, comrades, that was the second topic. And speaking of education, do you remember any universities created during the previous administration? You remember, you know how many guns we collected in my first two terms, 500,000, and using guns in this country was for setting fires and destroying things. During their administration, they approved the purchase of 1 million weapons and 1,000 bullets. 1 billion bullets. Meanwhile, Lulio, the Mechanic, approved 213 million textbooks for distribution in schools across the country. Now it's your choice. Now we're going to have to vote, we're going to have to choose between the guy who prefers to destroy bullets and the guy who prefers to distribute books. These are the things we have to do. Between a guy who destroys jobs and a guy who builds jobs. Then a guy comes along who wants to privatize the beaches, like Cambuiu, or he wants to open up the beaches because the beach belongs to everyone. This is the country we have to choose. And if you're here, then Mer is here for you. Come here. This is for you. You know that I'm not a Marxist, I 'm not a communist, I'm a lathe operator . That means it consists of politics. Now, this guy, this guy I'm going to tell you about. You know, Marcos had a rich guy who accompanied him, his name was Engels. This guy is my Engels. I did it, you know? I liked him, and he agreed to be a candidate for governor, and I put him forward as a candidate to expose Jorginho here and to discuss what I do in agribusiness. Felío, Felío, when you go, I think you should have a meeting with the people from the business here, you and them, without any papers in hand. You ask them why they don't like us. Why don't they come back to us? Because the problem against us, I think, is a matter of skin color. Is it because I'm from the Northeast of Brazil or because I'm poor? Because if it depended on government money, they should not only vote for me, but kneel before me, because there has never been so much money for agriculture as there is now. In my fourth term, the three largest credit investments during my tenure were for large businesses and small businesses. And here in Santa Catarina, we have a very special kind of agriculture. There are many cooperatives here. Here, there is an integration between the company and the rural producer, the pig farmer. Here, 30% of the Brazilian market is the pig farming market, which is very important for Brazil. Chicken is 15%. You know this because you know the market. Well then . Do you know how many markets I opened? Do you know how many markets I opened? Poultry meat and by-products. I opened 34 new export markets for aged vegetables, carcasses, and related products. I opened 25 international markets to sell our product. Total number of new markets opened in Brazil in 4 years during our government: 693 new markets. Beef and beef products: 37 new markets. Fish, 22 new markets. Adding together the four proteins from Santa Catarina. Pay attention. Adding up the four proteins here in Santa Catarina, that's 118 markets that Lulia, whom they don't like, has opened for them to sell their products. Ask him why he joined the soccer team. What is the reason? Because it can't be about education, it can't be about health, because their candidate let 713,000 people die from Covid here, and half of them were his responsibility. He appointed the four-star general of peace, who was walking around like that, knowing that he didn't understand anything about health, nothing at all. It was the era of people being buried in black paper bags. It was an era when a son couldn't say goodbye to his mother. The mother couldn't say goodbye to her son. People were buried without us even being able to attend the funeral. This is the future they wanted for our country. We already lost her mother to Covid. You lost your husband. And many people lost because there was a lack of accountability. I never demanded that the president know how to handle things. I never charged. I was simply urging him to be intelligent, assemble a crisis committee with experts, and listen to those who understand the subject. Stop saying things like vaccines make you gay, vaccines turn you into crocodiles, or vaccines turn you into health. Vaccines mean health, vaccines mean life. And they denied it. Denying science, denying medicine, and still laughing at people dying from fixia. This is the world that's about to return. And that's the decision we're going to have to make . You are our soldiers. If we leave here and all you have left is the memory of our rally, nothing will happen. This is a war. You are our team. We are preparing you now. We have to go after them. We have to convince them. We need to get that R code, that CR code that J mentioned. We have to gather all the information, and we're in the bar, there are Bolsonaro supporters, are you sitting down? Hey man, we don't want to fight . We want to discuss narrative with you. Give me three reasons why you vote for Bolsonaro and I'll give you 1000 reasons why I vote for Lula. Det here in Santa Catarina. Ask them, ask the governor, what spelling he has with Bolsonaro. What did Bolsonaro do here? Nothing, nothing, and nothing. What is this? Hey everyone, I want you to remember, young people, you remember, you know that beautiful road you used to take to get to the airport 30 years ago? It wasn't a pretty road, it was a very narrow little road. It was just very narrow. You know it was one car to go, one car to come back. Do you know who started building this beautiful road? Lulinha, the lathe operator . She continued the story, Dilma, the woman they ousted. If you take all the good roads around here, you'll realize they didn't have a hand in them. But there is something more sacred. There is something more sacred. You know, for me, education is my passion, my passion here. Education. Well, during my term, Belívio, during my term, out of the six camps that exist in this state, we've built five. 83% of the university campuses were built by the mechanical turner, not by his military regime. Of the 41 federal institutes in history, we, Lula and Dilma, created 32 of them, and I'm creating three in this term alone . I created a nest egg. Do you know why I created the nest egg? Because we discovered that nearly 500,000 Vi girls and boys dropped out of school every year to help their parents at home by earning a little money. Then I started thinking, is it fair to let 500,000 children drop out of school because they don't have the money? That's how we create our nest egg. Then they said: "Lula is spending money." Pay attention. At a Federal University that has a space engineering course , it's the only course of its kind in Brazil, at the Federal University of ABC, which I also created. It costs R$ 20,000 per year for a girl or boy to become a space engineer . It costs R$ 20,000 to become a space engineer . Do you know how much a meal costs in a prison in any state? R$ 35,000 per year. 35. So, the choice doesn't require much intelligence, just sensitivity. Instead of building prisons, I built schools. Instead of discussing increasing the penalty for juvenile offenses, I want to increase the number of years of schooling for juveniles, so they can graduate and learn. That's what it means to take care of this country's future. That's what it means to take care of the future. Taking care of the future means investing in education, investing in health, and investing in quality jobs. And now, pay attention, my friend, pay attention. The Redata law, a government project, has just been approved. Redata will bring a data center here, and Brazil could receive up to 500 billion in investments. Do you know why? Because Brazil is a country with a great capacity to produce renewable energy, and data centers consume a lot of energy. And we will not allow the energy produced by the Brazilian state to go to other countries, not data centers, but to power the lights in our homes, our refrigerators, and our computers. Anyone who wants to come here has to invest in building a power plant to produce energy, and it will be something extraordinary. The other thing we approved is the issue of legalizing the exploration of critical minerals and rare earth elements. People, in Brazil, only 30% of its territory is known. We only know 30%. 70 are missing. Even knowing only 30, Brazil is the second country in rare earth and critical minerals. China is the first, but Brazil doesn't have the technology to explore that possibility. So we're also going to create courses in federal institutes and our universities to make the Brazilian people, you know, more capable than the Chinese, you know? We want to explore rare earth elements here in Brazil. We want to extract it, we want to separate it, we want to industrialize it, and we want to sell finished minerals. We want to sell SIM cards, we want to sell batteries, we want to sell cell phones. We don't want to export only pork, beef, chicken, or just corn. We want to continue exporting as well. But we want to export intelligence and knowledge. And that means generating information, investing, and conducting research. We are ready. I promise. More than promising you, I promise my conscience. In the next 10 years, this country will owe nothing. In terms of education, in terms of training engineers, mathematicians, and physicists, we are second to none in the world, because we don't want to be caught in the war between China and the United States. Our battle is to educate our girls and boys to build a decent future for this country. Well, I have so much to tell you, but time is running out and I have to travel. Hey everyone, I wish you would come here, Florido. Hey everyone, let's do something. Let's do something to clarify things for the Brazilian press. Can you help me? Let's see if you remember which government created Sabu. Which government created the " Popular Pharmacy" program? Which government built the most universities in the history of Brazil? I'm going to give the number in 500 years of 34 federal academies. 200 was made by me and Dilma. We did in 15 years what they didn't do in 500. So, who has taken away the most Federal Institutes from the country? Who created PR? Who regulated FI and provided funding for you? Who created the meeting? L. Who made the biggest national program in Brazil? Squid. Who took the best care of the highways in Santa Catarina? Who doesn't ask for ideas? And what did they do? Nothing. Does anyone remember any projects from the previous administration? Then you realize that the choice is easy. The choice is very easy, and this is the time we have to convince. Do you remember what I said? Now is the moment of truth. No need to pretend, no need to lie. Now comes the truth. Your Jorginho appeared in a photo that you showed there with the machine gun. Would n't it have been easier for him to just show up with a textbook? It wasn't any easier. It was so simple. Why are these people so rude? Why are these people so ignorant? This love is this kind of love. Look, look how easy it will be for us to win these elections. That's how it is. You're going to enter a ballot box. First, I'm going to say something to the people who are 70 years old. We're not obligated to vote, okay? It is no longer mandatory. But I wanted to ask for two things. First, you don't have to vote for yourself. Vote for your grandchild, vote for your child, vote for the future of this country. Don't just sit there. Rise, man and woman. Ah, but I 'm already 70, I'm no longer interested. And doesn't your grandson deserve it? Doesn't your great-grandson deserve it? Doesn't your daughter deserve this? Does n't your maid deserve it? If we have the chance to choose the best, let's choose the best. Why let the worst team take the field? And there's something else I'm going to ask you. Health. Health. You can write here. You have to keep writing here. Brazilian. Lula, a warrior for the Brazilian people. Lula, warrior of Brazilian fire. Lula, warrior of the Brazilian people. Lula is at the top of the Brazilian elite. Lula, a warrior at the top of Brazil. Hey everyone, would you like to vote for someone who values ​​Santa Catarina? A guy who likes to use things from Santa Catarina? Ask my opponents, my friend Felívio's opponent, if they wear a hat made in Jaraguá do Sul. Just like I'll see if any candidate is wearing a hat from the Marcato brand, a brand owned by an Italian family. They're going to Italy to buy hats. Lulia goes to Jaraguá to buy a hat to use, strengthening the industry. That's why I'm going to take my hat off to you. Hey guys, I wanted to, I wanted to finish, I wanted to finish with something for you all. people. I am 80 years old. I want to say to people who are over 60, 65 years old, that I am physically better today than when I was 60 years old. Because I discovered, I discovered that I like life. And if we enjoy life, we have to know that nobody enjoys our life more than we do. So, you grandchildren, great-grandchildren, children, and you're seeing your parents sitting for long periods of time, you know? It's easy for him to do a little exercise, stretch his legs; we start to get old through our legs. When we start dragging our legs, we're getting old. So we need to get up. Just like when we go to the bathroom to relieve ourselves. Let's do half an hour of exercise. Let's get up and do physical education. People inside the house, ask your grandson to help you, your daughter to help your granddaughter. What's unacceptable is for us to just sit there doing nothing and then not even have the courage to get up. Let's take care of ours. I get up every day, my friend. 5:30 in the morning. I work for 2 hours. I can run up to 8 km/h. 8 kilometers. And that's why I want to create a policy to care for the elderly. A policy. But I don't want a place to institutionalize elderly people, no, to keep them locked up, no. I want him to have the option of a place where he can swim, read, watch movies, dance, and go on dates. Because, folks, nowadays we date at a much older age. These days, age isn't a factor anymore, folks. So, what I want is for people to have life, life, and more life. Help your grandfather, man. Help your father, help your grandmother, help your father, help your mother, help your grandmother. Be the physical trainers of those who brought you into the world. Because even if he's old now, he's the one who raised you. He taught you how to walk, he cleaned your bottom, he bathed you, he fed you, you know? He did everything for you. So, for God's sake, do something for them. Don't abandon him on the couch. That's what I'm asking for. Now I want to see which of the young people here will go home and start taking care of their grandfather, their grandmother, their father, their mother. Raise your hand. I want to see how the young man is feeling. Well, having said all that, I'm starting to get hungry . So, let me give you my last message . Look, the election is like this: we'll get to the ballot box, and first we'll choose our federal representative, because those representatives are cunning. They voted for him to be first, because if the first one was president, he would have to return to being a congressman. So they put in the first federal deputy. So you vote for people from our team, then state representative, then senator. Look, we are entitled to two votes, not just one vote, but two votes. For senator, we vote for 13, which is actually 10. Whoever votes for 10, votes for 500, which is Afrânio. Whoever votes for 10, for Afran, votes for Merío. Whoever votes for all three, if you take a little nudge , vote for 13 to help me win over voters in this country. And then we're going to give him a beating. Ah, the other person's idea. I want to win elections to get my father out of jail, and I want to win to keep him in jail. They, they created the INDS gang, they robbed the retirees. live. This is my last recap. They created the NSS gang that robbed the retirees. We uncovered the criminal gang, the Federal Police, and the Comptroller General of the Republic. We spent years investigating, we uncovered their gang, arrested them, and have already seized 6 billion of their assets so we can pay their social security contributions. But we already paid 5 million. 5 million. We'll pay 5 million retirees soon. R billion half a million more. Everyone received it. Then he would say: "It's not because Lula's son is only the bald man's son." Last week we discovered that Fra Apostolaro's office is next to Careca's office . right? It's a sa. Then they created the master bank, transformed it, turned it back into the banker. What did we do? We made him a prisoner because he embezzled 70 billion from this country, corrupting everyone. And what do I want the Supreme Court to do? I want the Supreme Court to investigate, to thoroughly examine everyone. Let's expose everyone's true colors to Brazilian society, because we deserve to know the truth. If we don't deal with this now, we won't fix this country. And I want to fix this country. I want you to feel proud of this country. I want you to feel proud to say: "We are Brazilians and we don't give up on anything. I am not just one thing. I am the son of a mixture, a miscegenation between indigenous people, who were the owners of this land." Because some people say, "Indigenous people have 14% of Lula's support." That's a lot of land for indigenous people; they own 14% of the national territory. They had 100%. It was all theirs. We're the ones who take it. Well, then we are the result of the mixture of indigenous people, 350 years of slavery, and Europeans. The Europeans came here because the Brazilian elite wanted to whiten Brazilian society. And that is why racial prejudice is a crime. It's a crime. Anyone who is prejudiced based on race or gender must be punished, because we are all equal, we are all children of the same God, and we do not accept being treated differently because of where we were born, because of our sex, our sexual orientation, or our skin color. We want to be treated with respect. People of Santa Catarina, a hug, a kiss on the heart. Long live, long live Berío. aa aa The last one, the last one Comes from within, me being a feeling again. I waited a long time, and my heart continues to beat without fear of being happy. The soul of peace that they tried to silence. But that star will not fade. And the light illuminates hope. With faith in the future, I'll do better. Without fear of being happy, I want to see it. Our star shines. Moon up there, hope is reborn. Lula there, Brazil as a child in the joy of embracing. Lula there, with dignity, Lula there. Brazil deserves another opportunity to smile, and our star shines brightly. Listen, folks, something I insisted on, I want to tell you what I said at the rally on the 22nd. This here is the flag of our homeland. Now, this here is the flag of my party. I'm not a mongrel who's ashamed to say what party I belong to. Now, since I'm a mongrel and don't have a flag, they're getting tired of the national flag. Their flag, and the flag that doesn't belong to them. The flag represents 217 million Brazilians, and they display the Brazilian flag for an hour . The next day I'll be in Copacabana with the American flag. I do n't have two homelands. My homeland is Brazil. Big hugs, everyone. Kiss. A new feeling. I waited a long time, and my heart continues to beat without fear of being happy. They tried to silence it, but this star will not be extinguished. And the light illuminates hope. With faith in the future, I'll do better. I have my senses and I want to see it arrive. Lula there, our star shines. Moon up there, hope is reborn. Moon there. Brazil, a child at heart, joyfully embraces. Lula there with dignity. Lula there. Brazil deserves another opportunity to smile. And our star shines. Lula is our star. Lula there, hope is reborn. Lula, there, Brazil is like a child, in the joy of embracing. Lula there with dignity, Lula. Brazil deserves another opportunity to smile, and this is our debut.
