The Workers’ Party (PT) made Jilmar Tatto’s candidacy for the City of São Paulo official on Saturday (12). The announcement came during a virtual convention held by the party.
Without going through a vote, Tatto’s candidacy was formalized by the municipal executive of the PT. The name of the candidate for vice mayor has not yet been defined, but three women from the party are cited.
Together with former mayor Fernando Haddad, Tatto delivered his first speech as a candidate for the São Paulo city government from atop a slab on the south side of the capital. Members of the PT and journalists followed the speech through the transmission on a screen mounted at the headquarters of the municipal directory, in Bela Vista, in the central region of the city.
In his printed speech distributed to journalists, Tatto stated that it will review the current management contracts and will base its campaign on four axes: solidarity and social justice; economic development; participatory management and incentive to culture.
“I know my responsibility, I know what people are suffering. I have experience to govern São Paulo. We will return the student’s free pass and decentralize the administration, ”he said.
The PT has also stated that they will return with the free pass for the unemployed and intends to lower the value of the bus ticket on Sundays and holidays.
The PT also launched 83 candidacies for the position of councilor in the São Paulo capital with 95 candidates, since some candidacies are collective.
