() has shown allies resistance to indicate the governor of São Paulo, (Republicans), as successor to the Planalto Palace in 2026.
A wing of the former president’s allies has reinforced criticism of the governor and, according to interlocutors on both sides, this has contaminated Bolsonaro. There is irritation with movements to try to get Tarcisio’s name for the presidential race or even discussion about a right -wing candidacy now.
The former president complained to allies that his former minister would not be showing sufficient solidarity, according to these reports. They also point out that the bridges the governor has with the (Supreme Court) do not translate into relief to his political group.
In this scenario, Bolsonaro has signaled a preference for indicating someone from his clan. The former first lady is today the most cited-so that a part of her allies see with suspicion this scenario. Your child (PL), still in the US, is also pointed out as a possible successor.
Publicly and privately, the former president maintains the speech that he is the candidate. In, he said he will register his candidacy at the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), despite being ineligible.
Leaders of coffee parties say they are concerned about this scenario when he will insist on his name until the last moment to possibly indicate someone from his clan to the head of the plate.
The preference of these politicians today is by the name of Tarcisio, although some say they will be next to Bolsonaro regardless of choice.
An wing of these center leaders threatens not to integrate the right -wing campaign in 2026 and support the reelection of (PT) if the option is by Eduardo or Michelle.
To put itself as a candidate for the Planalto since February this year, as reported by Sheet. On the one hand, it can make a right victory difficult for shortening campaign time. On the other hand, it can make it difficult to organize plates in the states.
There was an expectation that, with the advancement of the judgment of the event of the 2022 coup d’état, there could be signaling, albeit behind the scenes, that Bolsonaro intends to invest in another candidacy – which did not occur.
For the former president, keeping his political capital is a trump card while seeking to defend himself against what he calls political persecution in the STF.
The governor of has insisted that he has no interest in competing in the Planalto Palace and wants to reelect himself to Bandeirantes. In addition, it has denied invitations to attend events in Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais and other states.
Behind this posture is Tarcisio’s concern to reinforce his loyalty to the former president. He says he will support who Bolsonaro chooses to office.
Its allies deny that there is a lack of solidarity or shudder in the relationship. They mention that the governor accepted without hesitance to be a defense witness in the accusation of attempted coup and signed the urgent request for the amnesty project on January 8.
They also say that the surroundings of Bolsonaro, who lives more in everyday life with him, has always had criticism of the former infrastructure minister, but that this does not define the relationship between the two-which would be in good terms.
By 2022, even before the declaration of ineligibility, there was already a wing of closer pockets from the former president who suspected Tarcisio and thought his plan was to try Planalto in 2026.
With the proximity of the electoral calendar and the uncertainty of the scenario, it increases the climate of tension in the center and on the right. All remain in the waiting measure, waiting for Bolsonaro to define themselves about the future.
There is a general understanding that a right-wing candidacy, without the support of the former president, will not prosper. On the other hand, an application with Bolsonaro’s support, but rejection in the rest of the political world, should find difficulties and risk losing to Lula (PT).
The former president’s future also depends on who he points out as a successor, who expects to guarantee loyalty. In an interview with UOL, he charged right -wing governors to publicly question the decisions that resulted in his ineligibility.
The speech was made when he mentioned the () by a unique candidacy from the center and right to the presidency.
“It is not a political strategy, I go to the last second [para se candidatar à Presidência em 2026]. He even came into this question … It’s Michel Temer’s right, no one who entered the policy forgets … But I would like, I can’t force that the governors would say: ‘Bolsonaro is ineligible why? Are these accusations worth? “He said.;
