After a week of crisis for the federal government, with the Union Brazil framework and an operation of about, sectors of the left have spared critic president Lula (PT) even after he decides to not attend promoted by the union centrals in São Paulo.
It will be the first absence of Lula of Acts since assuming the third term in 2023, amid charges for the end of. Nevertheless, with the most critical left groups to the president chose to shield him from internal attacks to safeguard his image for the 2026 election.
Unionists who had already expressed discontent with the Lula administration previously minimized the president’s absence in May 1, even being a historic date for the PT. The report -aligned leaders reported under reserve that the petista at least fulfilled the role of this Tuesday (29) and listening to demands from the sectors.
One of them noted that the petista fears to find an act emptied on Thursday morning (1st), in the northern zone of São Paulo, as occurred last year in Itaquera, in the East Zone. He also considered that the president does not want to be associated with the car sweepstakes promised by the union centrals to the public, alleged reason by CUT (Single Workers’ Central) this year.
According to allies, the draw of vehicles in an event with the presence of the petista could generate new wear to the image of Lula, another episode that could be explored by media parliamentarians of opposition.
Last year, the Labor Day event in São Paulo was marked by the small audience. Lula said in speech, “The act is badly summoned, we did not make the necessary effort to bring the amount of people it was necessary to take.”
LEGISLATIVE
The concern not to generate new noise within the is reinforced by the deputy Pedro Lucas Fernandes (União Brasil-MA) 12 days after being publicly announced in office.
The critics fell more to União Brasil and the moment of repagination of the party, which officialized the Federation with the PP, than to the Federal Government and the Minister of Institutional Relations, Gleisi Hoffmann (PT). In addition, tolerance for the party turbulence of others is seen as the result of Lula’s need to count on the centrão in government voting.
The parties of the same centrão, despite maintaining positions in government, in their attempt to reelect themselves in 2026, one more reason why left groups chose to soften criticism of the petista throughout the week.
In the view of a PT federal deputy, another episode that further wears the government is the operation triggered by the PF about AS, which implied the involvement of allies of the minister, Carlos Lupi (). According to the parliamentarian, Lula is “between the cross and the sword” to define the future of the pedestrian.
The PDT summit, which previously claimed an extra ministry in management, has warned the surroundings of the president that, if Lupi is fired, the party will leave the government. They have reminded the petistas that, at a time when Lula has counted on votes in Congress, it would not be wise to lose the support of 17 deputies and three senators.
