The irritation is related to the possibility of Machado, a former tucano who is ending his term in the interior city, running for federal deputy in 2026. This could hinder Rodrigues’ plans to be re-elected to the Federal Chamber.
“They are bringing someone from Jundiaí who was a tucana until yesterday, to our nest. Nothing against him [Machado]but this does not serve our interests. I am against this nomination for secretary”, he states.
The dispute is permeated by deeper issues. Rodrigues is from the non-Bolsonaro wing of the party. He has a centrist profile, and became a minister in the Dilma Rousseff government. “I’ve been in the party forever, Bolsonaro arrived later,” he declared.
This has generated resistance among people closest to the former president within the PL. Rodrigues does not rule out leaving the party. “I’ll wait for developments,” he says.
When contacted, André do Prado did not want to speak out.
