Did Cotrim say he would support Ventura in a second round? Here are the presidential candidate’s statements in full

It was one of the topics that marked the day of the campaign. João Cotrim de Figueiredo acknowledged on Monday that he had been “unclear” in his remarks about a possible endorsement in a second round of the presidential election, after admitting that he did not rule out supporting any candidate.
