State President of EM from this month, political scientist Christian Lohbauer, 58, states that the subtitle lives a Renaissance after João Amoêdo, cheers for a Tarcisio-Zema plate to 2026, defends (PL) and launches the former minister and deputy (new) to the São Paulo government-or to the Senate.
“The party’s big mistake was to have. It is almost inexplicable to take such a agenda, when we worked so many years to combat the PT. We are more mature, aware that this error cost us five, six, seven years of growth,” he says to Sheet.
“The new has this difficulty of positioning because of our recent past. People and such. The most important message is that we are on the right,” he adds.
Lohbauer was a candidate for vice president on the Amoêdo plate in 2018 and, therefore, makes a point of emphasizing the kind of refounding of the new. “We are again what we were.” He even left the caption, but returned in 2022.
According to the leader, the party would celebrate, in 2020, 50 thousand paying affiliates, a number that fell to 13 thousand the following year. In 2022, the new elected only 3 federal deputies compared to 8 in 2018.
Regarding the complaint against Bolsonaro under, Lohbauer states that there was no attempt to blow and preaches. He states, however, that the former president must be convicted, “it seems.”
“This judgment is totally political, neither technical nor legal. Regardless of whether or not people like Bolsonaro, it is a danger to Brazil. If they do this judgment, as they seem to do, politically against the former president, they can do with anyone.”
Lohbauer’s mission is to prepare the party for OE, with the new position on the right, it all depends on those that mobilize this field: Bolsonaro, who would be out of the ballot, and the governor (Republicans), who has until March next year to make a decision.
For the leader, there are two certainties. First, between Lula and Bolsonaro, the choice is for the former president. Second, the new party will support you. “It would be a scenario that seems more likely and perhaps more consistent. Bolsonaro putting his wife or son is very fragile.”
For now, the party invests in (Novo), and Lohbauer does not rule out that the governor of Minas Gerais can compete until the Senate to help the caption.
“We hire research to understand how difficult it is, because the party does not have the size of others, but Zema is a name that is table or as a head of the plate, or as a vice or as a person who will build the victory alliance.”
On a Tarcisio-Zema plate, he plays in reference to the Old Republic: “It would be something that everyone wants, a kind of postmodern milk with milk.”
Lohbauer also states that the field between Lula and Bolsonaro can fragment and that the new would not be one, for example. In addition, you see in The Balance Faithful, which can abandon Lula and determine if Tarcisio will compete for the Plateau.
Tarcisio would certainly be reelected in Lohbauer’s opinion, but “Salles will immediately be released to governor.” For the political scientist, the Bolsonarist Deputy who left the PL after facing Valdemar Costa Neto has a good chance of elementing himself to both the government and the Senate, as the right lacks – only (PL) and (PP).
In 2026, Lohbauer says that the new wants to “occupy the electoral space that is open”, attracting bolsonarists and not right -wing pockets and that “are orphans” because the other parties, such as PL, União Brasil, PSD, “You don’t know what they are.”
“A lot of people are looking for a liberal, consistent, consistent thing that has a little lightness compared to giant, heavy, physiological parties. The moment is favorable,” he adds.
Lohbauer defines the decision to accept coalitions and how “more realistic practices” that “seem almost obvious for the new to continue existing.”
“The polarization is that it disrupted our existence. We were a path of permanent alternative of taxpayers, middle classes, workers who pay tax and do not receive on social benefits what they contribute,” he summarizes.
