FROM SÃO PAULO
"Afraid of booing", according to politician Paulinho da Força, almost ten presidential candidates did not take up the invitation from the trade union center Força Sindical on May 1st in São Paulo, except for three of them, who displayed pessimism when speaking of the country.
Manuela D'Ávila (PCdoB) asked the labor reform to be revoked, claiming it "denies workers their rights".
Regarding the collapse of a building due to a fire in São Paulo, Paulo Rabello de Castro (PSC) said "it was the Republic of Brazil which collapsed upon Brazilian workers".
There are 13.7 million Brazilians who are unemployed and "whoever wants to rule the country has a moral obligation to generate employment," said Aldo Rebelo (SD) in his speech.
