The federal deputy (PL-SP) declared, in an interview with the newspaper The globewho would “sacrifice” by a presidential candidacy in 2026, if chosen by his father, the former president (PL), who is currently ineligible.
“My plan A, B and C continues to be Jair Bolsonaro. But if it happens, if it is to be the candidate with him choosing, I would sacrifice myself, yes, ”said the deputy, who said he would also support another name, such as the governor of São Paulo, Tarcisio de Freitas (Republicans):“ If Bolsonaro send, I support anyone. I won’t contest his leadership. ”
Despite being disallowed by Jair when he placed himself as “Plan B” for 2026, Eduardo believes that the union around a strong leadership of pockets will be crucial to the success of the right in the next elections, even if the former president is convicted by justice.
Asked about internal competition on the right, with names such as Ronaldo Caiado and Pablo Marçal positioning themselves to 2026, Eduardo believes that these candidates will face difficulties and will need to join around a pocket representative. He drew a parallel with Trump’s trajectory, where, despite several candidacies, all ended up supporting the main leadership, which was Trump himself.
After following the inauguration of the US President, Eduardo said that the republican’s victory “encourages” the right in Brazil and “cornerling” the current government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who does not align with the new US government: “Lula does not You can hit the US. The Lula government loses the Biden government as an ally. It’s other times coming, ”says Eduardo.
