Bolsonaro supporters talk about “escape” to Portugal
During the presidential election campaigns in Brazil, which had its second round last Sunday with Lula da Silva win, some go from Jair Bolsonaro repeated, in case the president loses, they would go to the country. And Portugal was one of the most talked about destinations. However, supporters of the winner in the dispute speak in contradictions.
During the last few weeks, Google searches for information on how to live in Portugal, or how to obtain some kind of visa. And as the doinho region, Braga in particular, received many Brazilians in recent years, it turned out to be a possible destination.
Following this movement, supporters of Lula da Silva and opponents of Jair Bolsonaro indicate that such a change makes no sense. Not with the ideology of the Socialist Party, that is, with the ideology of the Socialist Party for the extreme opposition, the policy of Brazil has as its final objective and approved some guidelines by the Socialist Party, namely abortion in relation to drugs, euthanasia in relation to drugs. and social programs.
“It is so fair that he is chosen against his government, Bolsonaro, because he would not have an accountant, it was exactly his government”, said the speech, when exactly he is chosen against his government, Ticiana Fernandes, from 4 HO MIN.
The Ceará native from Fortaleza, who has lived in Braga for one, says that these statements are just “words in the wind”: “many of these beneficiaries-if it was Lula and most of their speeches are driven by prejudice because Lula is a northeastern, trade unionist, who came from below. The Brazilian people need to see themselves as workers, it is an elitism without the slightest sense, which criminalizes the left without the slightest foundation and without historical knowledge”.
In social networks, as stated by the searches for Portugal, contradictions were evidenced by Twitter users and influencers on Instagram, for example.

For Lula da Silva’s electoral accountant, there are already people in Portugal with this thought and who live these contradictions in practice. It is recalled that Bolsonaro won in 2018 in the three polling places in the country, but this time he lost in the three and got around 34.2% of the votes in Porto, where Northern residents vote.
“I know, unfortunately, many Brazilians who criticize the Bolsa Família in Brazil, saying that it is an aid for the poor who are just themselves but who have the lazy, but who are themselves but who have in Portugal the allowance of the Portuguese government, who have financial conditions. It’s the motto: “poor gets lazy, we, the middle class, can get paid”. many Brazilians do not know the importance of public policies and do not charge candidates that they are elected as deputies, governors and senators. They treat politics like a football match.”

In fact, it only grew in the years of Bolsonaro in power regarding Brazilians for Portugal. When the president was considered, in 2018, the number was 105,000, and now there are almost 212,000, according to SEF figures.
For the people from Ceará, Lula’s victory represents the return of democracy and hope for the majority of the Brazilian people.
“Political squid with great capacity for dialogue and we have an issue of global interest that is a matter of compromise. In the past, governments and social governments have fought it and the policies implemented have been fostered by petitions and at this delicate moment we need to resume these agendas with priority”, he concluded.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was elected President of Brazil with 50.90% of the votes and defeated Jair Bolsonaro (far right), who got 49.10%. At the age of 77, Lula da Silva will be the 39th President of Brazil, after having already returned two terms as head of state, between 2003 and 2011. It is the first time in Brazil’s recent democratic history that a candidate for the Palácio da Dawn after a victory in the second round.
