The governor of Pernambuco, will officially leave OE will join this Monday (10). The departure was consummated at the end of February, and the act of affiliation will take place in Recife.
a SheetRaquel negotiated at least since 2024 a trip to the acronym chaired by. In addition to the prospects of joining a party that is on the rise, she will also command the subtitle directory in Pernambuco. The MDB was also considered as a destination, but the governor hit the hammer for PSD affiliation.
In a Sheet In December, she had stated that the PSDB was “getting small” over time and that it showed “that something is wrong.”
“What PSDB needs to do is meet again with its history and values. We need to have strong parties and institutions that can face the democratic game,” he said.
In February, in an interview with TV Bandeirantes, she stated that she was uncomfortable and that the moment in the country needs to be “concertation.” “The PSDB was not opposed to the Bolsonaro government and put themselves about a year ago as a ‘opposition headlight’ to the president’s government without having a project that could point to what we want ahead,” she said, adding that her vision was respected within the acronym.
Even in a party that is PT’s historical adversary, the governor praised the partnerships signed by her management with the federal government, despite dodging the question about a possible support to the petista in the 2026 elections.
In the 2022 election, she had not declared a vote in the second round of the presidential dispute. Already in the first year of government, he began to make nods to the president. “We are lucky to have in the presidency our ambassador sitting in the chair of the Planalto Palace,” he said about Lula, who is Pernambuco.
PSDB national president Marconi Perillo said he regrets the departure and that she always had “with our support and the party and electoral funds.” He also stated that the party is convinced that it needs to “build a strong electoral alternative to the extremes.” “We are and will continue to be opposed to the Lulo-Petista government without ever stealing us to point out the mistakes of the other extreme.”
He also added: “Brazil needs unity, it does not need adhesion.”
Raquel leaves the PSDB after nine years of affiliation – he signed in the party to dispute the city of Caruaru, where he ruled for two terms. Earlier, as a state deputy, she had integrated the PSB, which is one of the largest political forces in the state and today is her main rival.
Within the PSDB, the governor had been facing friction with the co -religionist Álvaro Porto, president of the Legislative Assembly. Porto, in February 2024, said that Raquel “talked too much” and “said nothing” in the opening speech of the House’s legislative year.
Interlocutors read Raquel Lyra’s trip to the PSD as an attempt to approach Lula to articulate a possible support for the reelection candidacy itself.
She is likely to face the current mayor of Recife, (PSB), in the government race. Currently, Campos is an important ally of the president.
The mayor, future national president of the PSB, was reelected with one of the highest voting rates among Brazilian capitals, with 725,000 votes.
In a kind of preview of this dispute in the municipal election of 2024, the toucans made 32 municipalities in Pernambuco, compared to 31 of the PSB. The departure of the governor can lead mayors to also take another direction.
Pernambuco toucans, however, should remain under the influence of the governor. This Sunday (9), Vice Priscila Krause, who was elected by citizenship, announced her migration to the PSDB.
Pernambuco party exchange deepens toucan emptying throughout the country. With her affiliation with the PSD, the PSDB will have only two governors: in Rio Grande do Sul, and Eduardo Riedel, in Mato Grosso do Sul.
The party, which has ruled eight states, has been losing relevance since 2018, when then -toucan Geraldo Alckmin – now on PSB – was only fourth in the presidential election. In 2022, for the first time, the acronym did not launch candidate for the Plateau.
In São Paulo, in 2024, eight municipal members decided to ask for discharge, in a new milestone for the crisis that the subtitle faces. In the 2020 election, the PSDB won the dispute for the City of São Paulo by reelecting then mayor Bruno Covas and had been in the PT, the largest bench in the House, each with eight councilors.
Last month, the party’s official website published a note stating that it will not disappear. “The PSDB will not disappear. With respect to 1.35 million affiliates and the history of all who helped found and build the party that made the most important reforms in Brazil, the PSDB will continue to exist.”
According to the statement, from the election of 2026, the so -called “performance clause” will be more rigid and therefore it will be necessary to find solutions to overcome this obstacle, “which includes the construction of strong plates for the elections for the National Congress, the state and district assemblies, for state governments and the presidency of the Republic.”
Behind the scenes, PSDB leaders are meeting with MDB, Somos and PSD leaders to discuss a party union.
