Given as certain by members of, the cancellation of (RJ) is seen with concern for the party, not only for the context that would lead him to lose his mandate, but also because the first alternate of the bench is former Minister Heloisa Helena (Rede-RJ).
Members of the Federation formed by PSOL and Network, as well as allies of the President (PT), expressed the Sheet The fear that, if he assumes as a deputy, Heloísa creates embarrassment for the bench with opponents and the federal government, of which the former parliamentarian is a stretch critic.
A PSOL leader said that even Braga is seen as a painting with less potential to create problems for the bench to be less known nationally than Heloisa. She ran for the Presidency of the Republic for PSOL in 2006 and had 7% of the votes, a brand that the acronym could never overcome.
The same leader recalled that Heloísa starred in conflicts in all the parties he has gone through, and that faces one against the wing aligned with the minister (environment).
PT’s historical militant, Heloisa was expelled from the acronym in 2003 when, as a senator by Alagoas, his state of origin, voted against the proposal for pension reform during Lula’s first term. The following year, he was one of the founders of PSOL, a party from which he left in 2015 for disagreeing with the cooling of criticism of the PT amid the process he led to the impeachment of then -President Dilma Rousseff the following year.
In the network, in addition to the internal dispute with the wing linked to Marina, Heloísa has already starred in behind the scenes, with federal deputy Túlio Gadêlha (Rede-PE). She is appointed internally as one of those responsible for overthrowing his pre-candidacy to Recife City Hall last year.
Case Heloisa assumes the deputy place in place of Glauber Braga, she and Túlio will be the only affiliated to the chamber in the chamber. Party leaders are afraid that the conviviality with his colleague takes the deputy, who has been flirting with a return to the PDT, to defiliate with the network.
In addition, PT and PSOL paintings aligned with the government fear not being able to count on Heloisa’s votes at a time when Lula’s team has been juggling to approve projects of interest.
Heloisa’s combative character, however, is also seen by some PSOL leaders as an aspect to be used in internal negotiations to try to block Braga’s cassation. According to them, between her and the family of the former mayor, (-al), can serve to convince the opposition.
The former president is seen as the main guarantor of the psoilist’s revocation process, who criticizes the political use of amendments during Lira’s mandate in front of the board of directors and who has called “bandit” more than once.
Lira would have called party presidents to ensure that the deputies vote in favor of the loss of Braga’s mandate. Even among opposition parliamentarians, cassation is seen as an extreme measure and some have said behind the scenes that they will only vote in favor of the pressure exerted by Lira.
A PSOL assistant said deputies of the acronym are already preparing to remind the former mayor Heloisa Helena to be an even more uncomfortable “stone in the shoe” than Braga.
In 2010, when Lira was elected federal deputy for the first time, his father, Biu Lira, was elected to the Senate promoting attacks on Heloisa, who led the polls at the time. The former senator is one more not to save criticism of his Lira and his family, constantly using the episode in her speeches.
Sought by SheetHeloísa Helena expressed solidarity with Braga’s situation, but did not answer the questions about the fears of PSOL colleagues.
“Glauber has my total and unrestricted solidarity, it is a scandalous process of completely disproportionate dosimetry. Glauber is an honorable man, has my unconditional support,” she said.
Heloísa exchanged the electoral domicile of Alagoas to Rio de Janeiro in 2022 after two consecutive defeats in her state of origin: in 2018, to federal deputy, and 2020, to councilor of Maceió. In his debut between the Rio de Janeiro electorate, he received 38,161 votes and was the first in the list of substitute for the PSOL/Rede Federation.
Last year, he was a candidate for councilor in Rio and, with 11,971 votes, could not be elected. His candidacy was in the state, with R $ 1.9 million from the Electoral Fund. At the time, the co -religionist Ingrid Oliveira, candidate for councilor of Niterói, accused her of abuse of economic power and filed a lawsuit for the Electoral Court to block the accounts of the network.
