Along with elected councilor Felipe Michel (PP), Crivella said that he will maintain an intense street agenda during the last week of the campaign. During the first round, the mayor opted for more controlled and restricted agendas, given the rejection of around 60% registered in the Ibope and Datafolha surveys.
– The campaign strategy is street, talk to people, talk about the reality of our government, explain that what we need is to be very aware. The voter in Rio de Janeiro has already defeated me and elected Cabral, he has already defeated me and elected Pezão, it was not good for them, nor for the people.
