GABRIEL ARAÚJOBELO HORIZONTE, MG (FOLHAPRESS) - Presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) participated in a walk with supporters this Tuesday morning (18) in Belo Horizonte, in yet another agenda aimed at strengthening the Liberal Party's platform in Minas Gerais.

Flávio walked around 300 meters alongside the PL candidate for governor of Minas Gerais, Flávio Roscoe, and the candidate for vice president, Ellen Miziara, state president of PL Mulher MG. Alfredo Gaspar (PL-AL), candidate for vice president, and federal deputies Nikolas Ferreira (PL) and Domingos Sávio (PL), candidate for senator, also participated.

"We have the best team here in Minas, like we have never had before in our history", said the senator and presidential candidate in a conversation with journalists during the event. "The change will start here in Minas Gerais, because whoever wins in Minas, wins in Brazil."

On Monday night (18), during the launch of Roscoe's candidacy for the state Executive, Flávio also waved to Senator Cleitinho (Republicans), leader of polls of voting intentions in the state, who declared support for the presidential candidate even without officially being part of the party's platform.

The presence of Nikolas Ferreira on the stage reinforces the support expected by the PL since the beginning of the year. In April, the federal deputy had been the target of criticism from Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL), convicted of the crime of coercion for his actions in the United States, for his lack of engagement in his brother's presidential pre-candidacy.

In the act, Nikolas reinforced criticisms already made by Flávio to the Lula government (PT) and the ministers of the STF (Supreme Federal Court). "I have no doubt that the next Federal Senate will 'impeach' criminal minister Alexandre de Moraes," said the deputy running for re-election.

On the topic, Flávio reinforced that, if elected, he will nominate to the Judiciary four men and women who, according to him, "are against abortion and drugs, respect the Constitution and do not use the pen to promote political persecution."

The candidate also blamed President Lula for the indebtedness of Brazilian families. "The consequence of his spending was to attract Brazilian families into debt, paying interest that they are no longer able to pay," he stated.

The event was held in the Betânia neighborhood, west of the capital of Minas Gerais, and brought together a few dozen people. The Military Police did not estimate the number of participants.

After the agenda, Flávio Bolsonaro had a coffee at Café Nice, a traditional café in the center of Belo Horizonte. He greeted supporters and danced to a funk jingle briefly before leaving the venue.
