Flávio Bolsonaro’s video was published one day after President Lula’s national speech on Thursday night (30)
Senator and presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) published a video on social media this Friday (1st), Labor Day, with criticism of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). In the material, titled a “statement to the nation”, the parliamentarian saluted Brazilian workers and took advantage of the date to attack what he classified as the high cost of living, the high tax burden and the use of public money by the current government.
In the video, Flávio highlights the daily effort of the working class — “the worker in Brazil who wakes up early, at dawn, who takes two, three buses” — and states that the last few years “have not been easy at all”. He cited the supermarket cart that “comes home empty”, high interest rates, taxes that “don’t stop rising”, a school that “doesn’t teach your child well”, a hospital that “doesn’t treat you in the way you deserve” and the violence that prevents families from “walking the streets in peace”.
The senator also stated that “Brazilians have to work five months a year just to pay taxes” and questioned the destination of public resources: “On his corporate card alone, Lula has already spent more than 1.4 billion reais. To spend time in luxury hotels around the world. To eat well. To drink expensive wine. It’s the sweat of his work warming up the luxurious life of the man who calls himself the father of the poor.”

Flávio concluded by rejecting the current scenario and promising a “Brazil of prosperity, of opportunities”, without “debts”, “a dirty name in the public square” or “false promises of picanha that never arrived”. “I’m not making any promises here. Because promises don’t fill anyone’s stomach. What I’m doing here is a commitment,” he said.
Lula’s speech the day before
Flávio Bolsonaro’s video was published the day after Thursday night (30). In his speech, Lula announced the relaunch of Desenrola Brasil, which begins on Monday (4), with debt renegotiation at interest of 1.99% per month and discounts of 30% to 90%. Indebted families will be able to use up to 20% of their FGTS balance to pay off their debts, and anyone who joins the program will be blocked for one year on all online betting platforms (bets).
Lula also sent a bill to Congress that abolishes the 6×1 scale, reducing working hours to up to 40 hours a week with two days of rest, without a salary reduction. The president ignored the government’s recent defeats in Congress and reinforced measures to mitigate the effects of the war in Iran and the rise in oil prices, such as the removal of taxes on fuel and actions to contain rising prices and guarantee supply.
