The Santa Catarina Governor Jorginho Mello (PL) made a “joke” in reference to the separatist movement “The South is my country”, which proposes the separation of the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul from the rest of Brazil. “We have two candidates for the presidency of the Republic here. In a moment, if the business does not work very well up there, we passed a meal to the side of here and do ‘the south is our country’, right?” Said the governor, causing laughter from the audience. The speech took place during a construction event in Curitiba, Paraná, on Thursday, 12.
Allied to former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), Mello referred to gaucho governors, Eduardo Leite (PSD), and Paraná, Ratinho Júnior (PSD), talking about the “presidential”.
The two, who accompanied him on the panel of the event, were also praised by the Governor of Santa Catarina, who said there was a great partnership between the three states.

At another point, Mello also joked with the governor of Paraná talking about “passing the ruler”, commenting on the measurement error that led the Paraná government to realize that an area equivalent to 500 soccer fields belongs, in fact, to Santa Catarina, changing the map of the states in 2024. No, ”he said laughing.
Although ineligible by 2030 by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Bolsonaro still stands as a possible candidate for the next election. Ratinho and milk are bets of possible successors, but today they are not favorite.
This week, Bolsonaro signaled to the governor of Sao Paulo, Tarcisio de Freitas (Republicans), who is willing to support him as a candidate next year on a plate that would have former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro (PL).
