Kriska Carvalho said she was outraged by the criticism she received after warning that those elections were worse than those of 2018. She stated that, since then, the right had been electing majorities in municipalities, governments, and Congress, and estimated that half of the population — or perhaps the majority — identified with this political field. She also mentioned that Nikolas had been elected with the majority and that the opponents had achieved a significant victory. Carvalho asserted that insisting on the case of Daniel Vorcaro had not mobilized the public and criticized the attention given to the subject. She also stated that people were not interested in rare earths or Monjaru. According to her, false news was powerful, and the president should be careful with what he said, citing the episodes of the card and the exam. She added that her side did not count on the large technology companies, while the opponents relied on them, money, and support from abroad. Carvalho described the movement as a years-long construction that had co-opted young people and mentioned the indebtedness and the decision to overturn sports betting, which, according to her, had been detrimental because of football teams. Finally, she rejected the notion that her assessment was pessimism and stated that the results in Congress, the Senate, the Chamber, and in governments should be taken into account. She also criticized activists who, in her opinion, did not accept hearing truths and preferred to live in illusions. #Realidade #Política #Eleições (translated)
