"The Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro participated on Thursday in the traditional March for Jesus, which gathered thousands of evangelical faithful in Sao Paulo, in an attempt to gain voters ahead of the upcoming elections to be held in October. The candidate climbed onto the main float of the march while believers walked around him. Later, Bolsonaro got off the vehicle that was transporting him, where supporters asked for photographs, while he wore a bulletproof vest. According to reports, on the float Flavio was joined by allies such as the governor of the state of Sao Paulo, Tarcisio de Freitas, and the city's mayor, Ricardo Nunes. During the march, Sonia, an attendee, criticized the presence of politicians, stating that "they come to gain votes" and "it's not right." Ana, a second attendee, complained that "they remember what they promised," referring to the presence of politicians. "Remember what they promised, what they know, and what they plan to do, right? Mainly for the people, who are a sector that suffers a lot. So we hope that everything they really aspire to achieve is also to improve our conditions, our convictions, and our daily life. That there really is progress," she pointed out. According to surveys, around 70% of evangelicals voted for former president Jair Bolsonaro in the 2022 elections, a source of votes that his son seeks to maintain ahead of future elections. Brazil's general elections will be held on October 4, 2026. Citizens will elect a president, vice president, members of the National Congress, governors, and vice governors, among other authorities."
