00:00We go to Brazil now. We are going to join our special envoy, Belen de los Santos, who is in
00:05Recreo dos Vandereintes in Rio de Janeiro,
00:08where a football game organized by musician Chico Huarque in collaboration with social movements and evangelical pastors is being held.
00:17Go ahead, Bel. We hear you.
00:20Hello, Ale. How are you? Exactly. Well, we are at a game, a very important game, and it's not just
00:27any other game.
00:28I will step outside so that you can see what is happening right now.
00:32It is political and cultural history.
00:35We can say this is not just any football game. It was organized, as we were just saying, by Chico
00:41Huarque, and he is playing right now.
00:43You know, the famous, worldly-renowned musician and songwriter from Brazil.
00:49You know that this weekend we've been talking about the participation of the key artists in this final run,
00:58and so the runner we've seen Caetano Venoso playing in Rio, as well as in Salvador,
01:04and now we have Chico Huarque, who organized this football match, not with just any team,
01:09but he invited the evangelical pastors to be part of the game, and they are playing right now.
01:17Again, I was saying, Chico is playing with the number 13.
01:21Of course, 13 is Nula in this elections, and a couple of things regarding this game.
01:27The importance of this cultural artist that are taking part in the final part of this campaign,
01:34let's recall that Chico Huarque, just like Icona Venoso, just like Chico Huarque.
01:38They live through Brazil's civic military dictatorship, and they were victims of that moment of depression.
01:47And now they are standing strong and playing this part of really bringing people to stand in favor of democracy,
01:56and again, for the turn of the far right.
01:59But not only that, in this case, they are joined by evangelical pastors.
02:03We know that the religious goal is so important in Brazil's elections,
02:08and particularly an important part of the evangelical world is closely aligned with the far right,
02:15and also in direct connection with Bolsonaroism.
02:20In this case, it's a way of reaching the side of this evangelical world that is also progressive,
02:29that is also on the left, that has a deeply religious understanding.
02:36But they understand that the word of the Bible has more to do with the left than with the far
02:45right.
02:45And building those bridges is so important for this election as well,
02:50because it speaks directly to a lot of that population.
02:53So important in Brazil, so important in Latin America.
02:56So that is what we have right now, and a special day with culture, with music, with people working,
03:03and with religion, with the evangelical pastors taking part here,
03:07in this case, in favor of the medicine, in favor of the re-election of Lula,
03:11and calling to all sectors of society to take part.
03:14We are just a week away from the run of the election.
03:18Thank you. Thank you, well, very much.
03:20We will be back to you in the upcoming admissions to know more about everything that is happening there in
03:25Brazil.
03:26in the final stretch of elections.
