The PSOL candidate for the Municipality of São Paulo, Guilherme Boulos, appeared on the balcony of his house, in Jardim Catanduva, in the South Zone of São Paulo, with a sign with the words: “Let’s go.”

Isolated after being diagnosed with coronavirus last Friday (27), Boulos spoke briefly with voters at the scene and said he believes in victory.

“Let’s go around. It will be a turning point, it will be with emotion, 48 ‘into the second half, but we will win, ”he said.

Boulos also said that he had received many messages from supporters in the past hours. “What I’ve gotten on video, the weather this city is in, is the tipping point weather,” he said.

In one of the moments when he appeared on the balcony, Boulos said that he is well, without symptoms of the disease, and that he will wait for the result to be publicly manifested.

On Saturday (28), after presenting fever and body aches, Boulos received a visit from the infectologist Esper Kallas. Medical care was a precautionary measure, according to a campaign note.

Luiza Erundina, candidate for vice mayor on the ballot with Guilherme Boulos, voted this morning (29), in the South Zone of São Paulo. At the door of the polling station, he said he called Boulos before leaving home.

“Today I called him and told him: look, I’m going to vote. He said: calm down, we’ll win, vote for me. He’s happy, he’s happy,” Erundina commented.

Luiza Erundina, a social worker and federal deputy, was mayor of São Paulo from 1989 to 1992. She was the first woman to command the city of São Paulo.

In conversation with journalists after the vote, she recalled the election of ’88, when not even the top of her old party, the PT, considered her the favorite.

At that time, Erundina conquered the bases of the legend and won, in the advances of the party, the also pre-candidate Plínio de Arruda Sampaio. At the polls, he beat opponents José Serra (PSDB) and Paulo Maluf.

“In ’88 I was the ugly duckling of the campaign. Nobody believed in my electoral skills. Even my party at that time did not believe it. We arrived on election day, I was third, with 18% [das intenções de voto]. And the party colleagues said: it’s great, we never had a vote like this in the capital. And I believed: no, you can do more. And there was nothing else: we won when nobody believed in that possibility. (…) And he gave Luiza Erundina, a northeastern, a woman from the town, a woman who worked in the favela, as a social worker ”.

Erundina voted for the Rui Bloem State School, in the Mirandópolis neighborhood. She was accompanied by a group of supporters and she left the place to applause.

During the campaign, Erundina, who is part of the risk group for Covid-19, participated in the agendas in a cart with acrylic plates to prevent direct contact with the public. The adapted vehicle was similar to the popemobile, a car used by Pope John Paul II to travel around cities in the 1980s and 1990s.

Despite the restrictions, she celebrated the campaign and said she was very excited by the feedback she received from voters on the streets.

“You could see a crowd of young and old in the streets, bright-eyed, discovering politics, the new, discovering how to change the world. And first, we must believe that it is possible to change the world to see if we can change our piece, and the city, and the country. We will if we get there. ”
