Sunday afternoon was busy at Camaçari schools. Dressed in blue and red, supporters of candidates Flávio Matos (União Brasil) and Luiz Caetano (PT) mingled in front of the voting stations. The atmosphere was peaceful, with Military Police (PM) teams reinforcing security in electoral areas.
Colégio São Tomaz de Cantuária, in the Center, was the place where the candidates voted. There, few people passed by without a sticker or shirt that identified their preference. Motorcyclists and drivers honked at the public and received applause or boos, depending on the option. The PM garrisons made constant rounds, with vehicles and a helicopter being seen by the reporters.
A few meters away is Colégio Modelo, on Avenida Luiz Eduardo Magalhães, where the report found the same scenario as Cantuária, with groups mixed in front of the school. Everyone showed confidence in their candidate’s victory. “We’ll turn around at 6:40 pm, you can take notes”, predicted a trader.
The stickers on the shirt of psychoanalyst Raimisson Silva, 43, indicated which candidate he preferred. For him, the second round campaign demonstrated the importance of Camaçari for the state. “The president came here, several mayors too. Everyone wants to win and it’s important to have this dispute because it reinforces the democratic process,” he said.
He said that he didn’t need to ‘vote’ and that he expected a more tense environment when he left home. “My family will vote for the same candidate. Even with this polarization, they are my friends, co-workers, there is no reason to go beyond the dispute. We will continue in peace and I hope my candidate wins”, he concluded.
Also in the Center, the Maria Quitéria Educational Center is the second largest voting zone in Camaçari. In addition to the press, supporters and police officers formed the landscape of the place. “It’s calm, we’re seeing red and blue mixing together, without confusion. This is important for democracy,” said public servant Helena Giffoni, 56.
