Some Brazilians long associated with the left now shift towards Flavio Bolsonaro

Their political allegiance is displayed on the door of their pizzeria. Sheila and Anderson are both 36 and are from Brazil's northeast. They've always voted for the left, but this time they've chosen Flávio Bolsonaro. Corruption is everywhere. We're not choosing the best option for Brazil, we're choosing the least bad. Flavio promises to get our country's economy back on track, to cut government spending, which is far too high, and that would be very good for Brazil. And he's promised he'll only serve one four-year term and won't stand for re-election. I think that's a good thing. Lula is old, he's past his best. We younger people are thinking about what's best for our future. The end of the six-day working week, a promise made by Lula and voted through in the run-up to the second round, has reinforced Anderson's decision. He employs two people and already feels overwhelmed by the running costs. I'm going to have to hire more staff, so costs will go up, and I'll have to pass that on to you, the customers. What I want is better security, better public health care and better education. I want the basics. So you don't think that Lula did that? Just look around you, see how Brazil works. I don't even need to answer that. In the first round of the presidential election, the far-right candidate won these working-class neighborhoods in the north and west zones of Rio. We don't vote for thieves. We're all behind Flavio. He beat Lula in numerous polling stations, including in the poorest areas. In the heart of Acari favela, Lula's supporters are holding a crisis meeting. We need to find the right arguments to convince our neighbourhoods. Their aim? To understand the lack of support for Lula's campaign. People here haven't studied. They don't have the historical knowledge of our past. They don't know what the right wing have done to the poor. People today simply aren't aware of that. They take their rights for granted. Many people born after Lula first came to power grew up with the social programmes he introduced and they aren't aware that these were hard-won gains thanks to the government. Every evening they take to the streets to try to win over their neighbours, hoping that their arguments, such as Flavio Bolsonaro's promise of public spending cuts, will strike a chord. All these businesses here need money being redistributed, Money circulating in the favela thanks to the social benefits secured by Lula. You need that money. Only the rich don't need the state. The poor, on the other hand, do need it. Every vote counts. Less than 2% separated the two candidates in the first round and the gap between them is now closer than ever.
