Lula Links School-Bus Push to Attack on Bolsonaro Record in Minas

The president used a Minas Gerais factory event to link education investment to voter choice.

Overview

  • At an Iveco plant in Sete Lagoas, Lula kicked off distribution of 1,000 school buses under the program’s second stage, delivering 158 on site and announcing 324, in an effort totaling about R$500 million.
  • He urged voters not to elect someone who mocked a person struggling to breathe, promoted guns over books, and claimed vaccines could make people gay or turn them into a “jacaré,” in a clear swipe at Jair Bolsonaro.
  • Education Minister Camilo Santana said Caminho da Escola will receive a 14.35% increase for municipalities across Brazil.
  • Lula argued that investing in education is a matter of national honor and essential for Brazil’s development.
  • Senator Rodrigo Pacheco appeared alongside Lula and praised him, as recent Genial/Quaest polling indicates many voters have already consolidated their presidential choices.
