PT targets Catholic voters after launching letter to evangelicals

After launching a letter aimed at evangelical voters, the PT (Workers' Party) now turns its attention to Catholics. According to information from political analyst Pedro Venceslau, the party is preparing a new document aimed at this segment of the Brazilian electorate.

According to Venceslau, the event to launch the letter is scheduled to take place this Tuesday (30) in Brasília and is led by Gutierres Barbosa, interreligious secretary of the Workers' Party. "He was also the one who led the event for PT evangelicals," highlighted the analyst.

According to the analyst, the meeting should bring together relevant names from the party, such as first lady Janja and PT president Edinho Silva, as well as members linked to the Catholic Church, such as Frei Betto, Frei David Santos and Daniel Seidel.

"The idea, according to him, is to create, just as in the case of evangelicals, a letter for Catholic men and women", said Venceslau.

The letter will seek to balance the PT's historical positions with the demands of a mostly conservative electorate. The analyst noted that one of the themes that usually comes up in these debates is the issue of abortion.

"The idea is that this letter defends life, but in the broadest sense of the word. They will not go into the issue of legal abortion or debates that could cause any type of resentment", explained Venceslau.

In addition, the document must address the government's social programs and try to build a narrative that connects this electorate to pre-candidate Lula. The strategy reflects the party's effort to expand its support base among religious voters in the run-up to the elections.
