Former president and presidential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was confident this Saturday that the Brazilian people will decide “for change” and advocated that President Jair Bolsonaro admit a possible defeat in the presidential ballot in Brazil.
“We have all the conditions to win tomorrow”said Lula at a press conference in São Paulo before taking a walk along Avenida Paulista, accompanied by former Uruguayan president José “Pepe” Mujica and the candidate for governor of São Paulo from the Workers’ Party (PT), Fernando Haddad.
Lula denounced “a machine of lies launched this Saturday by Bolsonarism” on social networks, where he accuses him of wanting to impose taxes on monotributistas and micro-entrepreneurs.

The candidate of the PT and other forces recalled that in all the elections in which he participated there were never any problems in recognizing the results,” alluding to the rejection of the voting system expressed by the current president of Brazil throughout the campaign.
In this sense, in another section of the press conference, Lula affirmed that He does not know if Bolsonaro will be willing to initiate a transition or hand over the presidential sash on January 1.
In any case, he clarified that he does not want to “sit down in the presidential chair before his time,” citing an old case in Brazilian politics, when former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso lost the mayoralty of São Paulo to Janio Quadros in 1985.
