Sergio Moro, March 10, 2022

“Desistir da minha candidatura seria desistir de mudar o Brasil, o que é meu sonho, e por isso coloquei meu nome à disposição da população brasileira. O que está acontecendo aqui na verdade é que muita gente tem medo da minha pré-candidatura e de me enfrentar nos debates. O que tenho a dizer para essas pessoas é que eu vou até o fim. Alguém vai ter que falar a verdade em 2022, não só em relação ao passado e presente, mas em relação ao futuro”

Portal translation: Giving up my candidacy would be giving up on changing Brazil, which is my dream, and that is why I put my name at the disposal of the Brazilian people. What is actually happening here is that many people are afraid of my pre-candidacy and of facing me in the debates. What I have to say to those people is that I am going all the way. Someone will have to tell the truth in 2022, not only about the past and present, but about the future

The translation is the portal's; the original text, in Portuguese, is the one that prevails.

Context
As Podemos's presidential pre-candidate, Moro responded to rumors that he would drop out of the race.

Eu somente com meu capital político não daria certo, daí a necessidade de fazer um movimento. Todo mundo cobrava dos candidatos da terceira via esse desprendimento. Ninguém recuava e fazia nada, e essa situação permanece. A gente tem que construir algo diferente

Portal translation: With only my political capital it would not work, hence the need to build a movement. Everyone demanded this detachment from the third-way candidates. No one stepped back and did anything, and this situation remains. We have to build something different
