RIO – Contrary to the strategy adopted by the opponents, the state delegate and deputy Martha Rocha, candidate for mayor of Rio for the PDT, began her campaign this Sunday stating that she does not intend to nationalize the municipal elections. Martha responded to a statement from former mayor Eduardo Paes (DEM), who stated that he did not campaign to “suck Bolsonaro, Lula or Ciro,” also referring to former PDT presidential candidate Ciro Gomes.
– First of all, from the outset, I say that I will not nationalize this debate. I am focused on Rio’s problems and on finding solutions to the city’s serious problems. I want to tell you that Eduardo Paes generates many of the problems that occur today, and I want to tell you that there is life beyond Eduardo Paes – declared Martha.

In addition to hitting Paes, the PDT candidate also covered Benedita da Silva of the PT and criticized the administration of Mayor Marcelo Crivella (Republicans), a candidate for reelection.
Martha started the campaign with an agenda of nods to PDT and PSB activists, a caption containing her deputy Anderson Quack. In the afternoon, Martha and Anderson met with activists and council candidates from both parties. The meeting was attended by the federal deputy and state president of PSB, Alessandro Molon, who declared that it was necessary to remove Crivella from the second round.
The candidate rarely mentioned the mayor in her speech, but pointed to various criticisms of her management, including health, education and transportation. A GLOBO, Molón said that the experiences with Paes and Crivella are already known by Cariocas and that the city needed an alternative that did not mean “a return to the past.”
– I think he is already clear about the carioca that Crivella no longer gives. Rio de Janeiro needs an alternative that does not mean going back to the past, but is a step towards the future. We trust that our ticket represents the opportunity to get Crivella out of the second round and put that ticket with Eduardo – adding: – These experiences have already been known to the Cariocas, who do not want the possibility of ghosts from the past to haunt the management again municipal .
Visit to ‘Brizolão’
On the first official day of the campaign, Martha Rocha visited the first Integrated Public Education Center (CIEP) in Rio. Known as Brizolões, the CIEPs are an educational project created by Leonel Brizola, the PDT’s largest political leader, to offer public education in a comprehensive. The election, in addition to a nod to the party’s militancy, marks one of the candidate’s campaign commitments.
– Education is a life commitment. We want to return to the concept of CIEP as a space that guarantees quality full-time education, food, dialogue with culture and the practice of sport is our desire and it is fundamental – he said.
Martha also recorded a video of her campaign at the Corcovado train station and took a walk along the Copacabana boardwalk to greet voters. Although the three agendas had the participation of teams and activists, there was not much popular commotion around the candidate and the deputy, which guaranteed, however, events free of crowding, according to Martha’s concern. The members of the PDT already evaluated, even in the pre-campaign, that she would not have, at first, the same demand from the public as her main opponents, Eduardo Paes and Marcelo Crivella. Although he is in the second term in the Legislative Assembly of Rio (Alerj), the allies consider that the Chamber has less visibility before the population than the highest position of the municipal Executive.
On the beach, however, the candidate was approached by some supporters and introduced herself as “delegate Martha Rocha”, confirming the strategy of using the experience in front of the police stations that she commanded in the city to show that she knows the problems in Rio.
Throughout the entire agenda, the team sought to comply with the health recommendations against the new coronavirus. Masks were worn at all events and Martha did not hug or shake hands with any voters.
