The last week of April will have decisive meetings between parties in Brasilia where the creation of the superfederation can be sealed -.
If the alliance between the two acronyms is realized, this will be the main force of Congress, with 107 federal deputies, the largest of the House, and 14 senators, tied with and PSD.
The PP has decided to support the Federation a month ago. A meeting of the Union Brazil bench in the House was scheduled for Monday (28) to discuss the matter, with possible announcement of approval the next day.
The two parties are at the base of the Lula administration, with four ministries – from the Union quota and one of the PP -, besides the command, but have starred episodes of infidelity and threaten other paths in the 2026 presidential.
União Brasil, for example, sponsored a rare episode of minister that would be and ended up not, symbolizing the internal division. The leader of the bench, Pedro Lucas Fernandes (MA), agreed to integrate Lula’s first echelon and then turned back due to internal disagreements.
Already the old giant must approve a merger with the to form a new party with 28 federal deputies and 7 senators. The toucans set the meeting of their executive for Tuesday (29), at 10am, in Brasilia, and one should take place in June.
The PSDB initially studied joining larger parties such as PSD, MDB and, but. “This model of fusion with the Somos means the continuity of the whole legacy and our history,” said PSDB President Marconi Perillo.
In a second moment, the PSDB+we can resume conversations to also make a federation with solidarity (5 deputies) and Republicans (45 deputies and 3 senators), party of the mayor, Hugo Motta (PB), and the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas.
Already the superfederation will be named union Progressive and, not to quind with the Lula administration at this time or to depart the governor of Goiás, (União Brasil), who is a presidential candidate, the new grouping decided to wait and not indicate any name for the dispute at this time. The speech is that this will be debated in 2026, with whom it is most viable.
With these alliances, the parties will add their electoral and party funds and advertising time on TV and radio. The intention is to obtain greater structure to dispute positions in the executive and also facilitate the assembly of plates for disputes to federal and state deputy.
The federation is valid for four years, but politicians of the two parties see it as the step prior to a permanent coalition.
Despite the increase in forces, the four acronyms may lose affiliates with the junction. PP and União Brasil have, and the national direction of the Federation will be charged with resolving internal conflicts. Other parties, however, say there will be several exits and already invites the dissatisfied with the loss of space on their electoral bases.
On Wednesday (23), the president of União Brasil, Antonio Rueda, posted in social network photo with the president of the PP, and wrote: “Come good good soon !!!”
PSDB+we can also suffer from external attacks on its affiliates, especially governors Eduardo Riedel (Mato Grosso do Sul) and Eduardo Leite (Rio Grande do Sul). Milk maintains conversations with the PSD, a scenario in which the most likely would be to compete, while the new party waves to him with the possibility of a presidential candidacy.
The promised unions are inserted in, which has already had 35 parties and today there are 29.
There are two milestones in this process.
The first, in 2015, with the approval of a mini -reform that made it difficult to create new parties. These new rules were crucial to block, for example, the attempt to create the Alliance for Brazil, a party that Jair Bolsonaro (today in the PL) and supporters tried to stand between 2019 and 2022 ,.
Since then, only one party has emerged from scratch in 2019.
The second milestone was to reduce the number of parties and occurred in October 2017, which eliminated the possibility of proportional elections and instituted the so -called performance clause, or barrier clause.
The clause and restricts access to parties with poor electoral performance to public resources and advertising time.
In force since 2018, the clause establishes criteria that become more rigid to each electoral cycle by 2030. In this year, only 3% of national valid votes for federal deputy will be accessed to at least nine states, or elect at least 15 federal deputies spread over at least one third of federation units.
In its debut in 2018, when the requirement was 1.5%, 14 parties did not reach the minimum. In 2022, with the floor high to 2%, 15 subtitles were left out.
This has forced small and dwarf subtitles to be incorporated or merge into others, a movement that should intensify in the coming years.
Since 2018, nine parties have disappeared from the Brazilian political map: PPL, PRP, PHS, PSL, DEM, PROS, PSC, Patriot and PTB.
In 2021, the for four years, a measure taken at the time in response to the prohibition of coalitions and.
To date, only three federations have been formed, all in 2022, effective until at least the first semester of 2026: 1) PSDB and Citizenship, 2) PSOL and Network and 3) PT, B and PV.
