Marked by the Governor (Republicans), the affiliation of the Secretary of Public Security,, to the PP, on the night of Thursday (22), generated discomfort among allies near (PL).
For this group, the act reinforced Tarcisio’s presidential projection, driven by leaders of center-right parties who would have already given up on fighting for the restitution of the former president’s political rights, which is ineligible by 2030 by two convictions of the Electoral Justice.
At the event, Derrite was explicit by placing himself as a candidate, justifying that this is the reason for his return to the subtitle – which he had left in 2022. Tarcisio, who stands to reelection in Sao Paulo but is named as presidential, said the group of party leaders who accompanied them was united and “wants to make a difference.”
“One thing that is important, which cannot go unnoticed, is the symbolism of this meeting here. It is the amount of leaders we have here, all over Brazil. For those who doubt this group will be united next year, I say to you: this group will be united,” said the governor.
“The moment there is doubt, when there are a lot of people there in Lost Brasilia, who do not know the way, and where decisions are made in a casuistic way, sometimes even irresponsibly, has the group here that is united, who knows the way, which wants to make a difference.”
The group quoted by Tarcisio was composed of national party presidents who were with him on stage: (), Renata Abreu (Somos), Gilberto Kassab (PSD), Antonio Rueda (União Brasil) and (PP).
However, the absence of Bolsonarist parliamentarians among the guests for the ceremony, held at a nightclub in Vila Olímpia, south of São Paulo. The place, with a capacity of a thousand people, was crowded. According to PP advisors, more than 80 mayors were on site -the party commands 47 municipalities in São Paulo.
According to the Sheetthe boycott was deliberated, motivated by the expectation that the event would serve as a stage for Tarcisio. Part of the Bolsonarist bench was not even invited after signs that it would disapprove of the political tone of the celebration.
Members of the group criticized the fact that neither Tarcisio nor Derrite defended the amnesty to the prisoners on January 8 or criticized Bolsonaro’s ineligibility. The governor must witness in defense of the former president in the process in which he is accused of leading an attempted coup, under analysis in the (Federal Supreme Court).
An ally near Bolsonaro states that the former president did not decide who will be his nominated if he remains ineligible, but that the bet is that it will be either Eduardo or former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro.
Despite all the support he already has in the center right, Tarcisio does not have the support of the godfather for the presidency, according to this ally.
Two weeks ago, the same group had already shown dissatisfaction with to form a front of center-right governors without Bolsonaro with a view to 2026.
At the time, Fábio Wajngarten, former Bolsonaro Communication Secretary, published on social network that election “is a vote” and that the votes are with the former president.
During his Thursday’s speech, Derrite stated that São Paulo has “the real possibility of electing two conservative senators” and presented his platform, which provides for changes in criminal law as a way of combating crime, a responsibility he attributed to the National Congress.
For pockets, however, although Derrite launched himself to the Senate, the political weight of the event, marked by the presence of five party presidents, gave the ceremony of pre-release to the government, if Tarcisio run for the presidency.
Ciro Nogueira, when talking to journalists on arrival, did not rule out the possibility, saying that, without Tarcisio, the caption would defend the secretary’s appointment. “Then, the derrite must be a candidate for the government. We will defend this, but it is logical that it is a construction,” he said.
Both Ciro and PL President Valdemar kept open the possibility of Tarcisio to run for presidency.
“The governors of Sao Paulo always make mistakes when they are elected: they soon want to compete for the presidency and put themselves as candidates,” said Ciro, to complete: “And that is why maybe Brazil will call Governor Tarcisio a president very soon. Or now or in 2030. And who will decide this is the people of São Paulo and the people of Brazil. your side. “
Already Valdemar stated that it also awaits a definition of the electoral situation of Tarcisio. “We have to see what Tarcisio will solve so we can solve our lives.” But the president of the PL pointed out that “who will say who will be the candidate for president is Bolsonaro. Why? Why he is the owner of the votes.”
