“May President Lula's government rescue the dignity and living conditions of the poorest, who carry the country on their shoulders with their work and taxes, and be inclusive of the minorities who have suffered in recent years. May they resume the research and intellectual development of young people who will be the future of our country, invest in public education and be more affectionate and careful with their people than Jair, who, with his unhappiness, lack of sensitivity and humanity, often saddened, he made his people angry and diminished. To Bolsonaro supporters, recognize democracy and support the government, as we are all in the same boat. To the PT members, you made history, proved that power is in the hands of the Brazilian people, and in the World Cup you can wear the national team's mantle. Thank you and let's end the political issues that this year have the World Cup”.
