The old saying that the left only unites in prison can also apply to the right, judging by the presence of
The prison to the lurking, of course, is that, if, if it has not yet occurred, it is already priced.
This scenario for the near future formed a body spirit among the many directise pre-candidates to the Planalto, who moved to Sao Paulo in support of the former president.
Even figures that rarely participate in this type of act gave the guys, such as governors Ronaldo Caiado (União Brasil) and Ratinho Jr. (PSD).
In an event where many speeches were a mere repetition of the traditional Bolsonarism menu, such as criticism of the Supreme Court and the religious references, the photo of the seven heads of state governments present alongside Bolsonaro was the great news, so it means for the future.
It would be even more if Claudio Castro (PL-RJ) had not given up at the last minute due to the rains in his state. Others, such as toucan Eduardo Riedel (MS), sent a message of solidarity.
In the 2022 election, it was Lula who managed to unite around him a center-left front (and even hints of center right), to dethron Bolsonaro in a tight dispute.
Now, the right responds, which goes from pure pockets to the old conservative guard of Caiado, passing the center-right of the most technocratic clothing of Ratinho Jr.
In addition to the governors, there were about 20 senators, some even from the president’s base parties, as well as mayors, deputies and councilors.
Obviously, the fire test of the unit forged in Paulista will now come, in the definition of who will be the presidential candidate. If Bolsonaro were in the ballot box, no one would dare.
Without it, a fragmentation may occur, but the emergence of a unique name anointed by the former president becomes feasible.
If this Sunday’s act (6) was not certainly it was a political victory.
Amnesty for January 8 participants will probably not come, but this agenda, which is confused with that of the former president’s arrest, provides a speech for the coming months. The pressure on Congress and the Supreme Court tends to increase.
This combines the fragility of Lula, who animates an opposition candidacy. He has never been so vulnerable, with trouble translating good economic numbers and government actions into popularity.
Although the amnesty was the main theme in Paulista, references to the economy also had their space in the speeches. The slogan “if everything is expensive, back Bolsonaro” is here to stay.
As if that were not enough, the opposition gained a campaign symbol, which was in the hands of many women (and even some men), and honored in balloons and posters on the avenue. In Paulista, the right, now united, painted herself from lipstick for the war against Lula.
