Escrito por Indira Santana.Domingo, 31 de octubre de 2010. 11:25Sao Paulo, Oct 31 (Prensa Latina) President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva asks whoever is elected to succeed him this Sunday to maintain the growth trajectory of the extraordinary moment experienced in Brazil.

In statements to the press after voting at an electoral college in San Bernardo do Campo, where he has his private residence, Lula said that "Brazil needs to continue this extraordinary moment is living."

Lula stressed that this is "a magical moment for a country that spent the 20th century with many sorrows."

Lula also urged the new president to develop a "republican government", where the governors and mayors of the opposition are not discriminated and added the candidate of the ruling Workers' Party, Dilma Rousseff, learned that with him.

Relying on Rousse's victory over José Serra, candidate of the opposition Party of Brazilian Social Democracy, Lula said that the Workers' Party will continue that line and said "I have no doubt that she (if successful) will make a great government for this country. "

The president ruled out the possibility of being part of an eventual Rousseff government, saying that there is no chance for a former president to participate in a government. Once Dilma is elected, she will have to build her own government.

Over 135 million 800 thousand Brazilians have been called to the second round of voting. Because of the long holiday weekend, a high absence from the ballot is expected, although voting is compulsory for people between 18 and 70 years of age.

For young people aged 16 and 17, the illiterate and those over 70 years, voting is optional, but the electoral propaganda urges all eligible to go to the polls and help with their vote to define the future of the country.sus/isa/asg/ale Modificado el
