Zema says that voters are 'more connected to the World Cup than to the election' when commenting on the Quaest survey TV HAS The former governor of Minas Gerais and pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, Romeu Zema (Novo), said that voters are "more connected to the World Cup than to the election" when commenting on the Quaest survey, released this Wednesday (10). The politician fulfilled his agenda in Sorocaba (SP) during the day. He visited media outlets and the city's City Council, where the statement was made. 📲 Join the g1 Sorocaba and Jundiaí channel on WhatsApp During a conversation with the press, Zema commented on the survey numbers, in which he appeared with 2% of voting intentions. He stated that the strategy for growth remains the same and classified the campaign as a "little ant's work". "The voter, once again, at this moment, is much more connected to the World Cup, which is there, than the election. Brazilians are worried about paying the bills, about solving the problem of their house, which sometimes needs renovation, and no one is connected to the election yet." People will look [at the elections] in two or three months, he said. Now on g1 Zema also used the space to criticize the political class's distance from the reality of the population. "We need someone who comes from the factory floor who has had to work hard all his life, who is a tax payer and not a tax receiver, to correct these problems in Brazil, where politicians live in luxury and Brazilians live in trash", he added.
