Boconists accommodated by (Republicans) in offices at the Bandeirantes Palace, until a few weeks ago, any conversation about the 2026 election that did not go through the end of the ineligibility of ().
Now, behind the scenes, they admit the possibility of the governor’s candidacy for the presidency, with the former first lady as deputy.
For governor assistants heard by Sheetthe posture of these allies is the clearest thermometer of the advancement of Bolsonaro’s convincing work to support Tarcisio in the election – although the group assesses that the dispute is not closed and that a more sudden movement can put everything to lose.
Tarcisio does not admit to being a pre-candidate for the Planalto Palace and says he will attempt reelection in Sao Paulo. However, a few weeks ago, he began one to indicate him to office.
At the same time, PL president Valdemar Costa Neto, Michelle and party members near the former first lady have a lawyer in favor of the governor in conversations with Bolsonaro, according to allies.
For them, in addition to reiterating loyalty to Bolsonaro – as when Supreme Court, Tarcisio has the polls of voting intent to his favor. He appeared.
In addition, the governor has good transit in the Supreme Court, a factor considered vital to the achievement of Bolsonaro’s biggest goal at the moment, to obtain a pardon for the condemnation as leader of the coup plot – which, according to allies, is already considered right.
Finally, Tarcisio seeks to introduce himself to voters outside, aiming especially at the evangelical audience.
Last week, in a movement in this regard, he made one during a service in honor of pastors of the Assembly of God, in Brás, downtown São Paulo, and posted the content on his social networks.
In the São Paulo government, Bolsonaro is expected to keep the suspense about his movement in the electoral scenario at least by the end of the year, depending on a possible sentence that includes closed prison.
With the advancement of the negotiations, the Governor’s allied parties in São Paulo move to reinforce public ties with Tarcisio, aiming for advantages in another dispute: by the State Government.
At the end of last month, Tarcisio agreed to record free advertising for the PL, supporting the president of Alesp (Legislative Assembly), André do Prado, quoted to run for government next year.
This week, the one used more than half of its 40 free insertions to bind to the government. Kassab has already expressed allies the desire to run for the election-and the current deputy governor, Felício Ramuth, is from his party.
Officially, Tarcisio intends to keep his agendas in Sao Paulo and will move away from any national projection that could indicate a solo flight to the default of the political godfather. It has intensified commitments inside, in a moving similar to that of the predecessors who tried to reelection.
This Tuesday (17), Tarcisio will be with Bolsonaro at Feicorte (International Fair of the Meat Production Chain), in Presidente Prudente, at the first event together after the interrogation of the former president in the STF process about the coup plot.
The governor has fit the commitment a caravan throughout the region, where he will visit works and announce investments. There is another caravan scheduled for this month.
Last month, he would send his deputy to Paraná to the meeting of Cosud (South and Southeast Integration Consortium), an entity that brings together opposition governors, but was canceled.
The fear is justified, according to assistants, because there are other groups that influence Bolsonaro, as well as internal bolsonarism disputes, with unhappy wings with the governor.
For these allies, Tarcisio is a name supported by the financial market, the center and the press – and would symbolize the candidacy of “Estabishment”.
In the view of this wing, which does not accept the ineligibility of the former president, the alternative would be his son Eduardo, a licensed federal deputy who was exempted in the United States in March to seek sanctions against STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
The evaluation between Tarcisio’s allies is that the former president can still hang on his son’s side.
On Sunday, in a live to the right -wing YouTube Studio 5th element channel, in an indirect Tarcisio.
“I do not know yet if in Brazil people understood. Without Bolsonaro, with Bolsonaro convicted, we will not have a normal election in Brazil. We will have an election where, at most, a ‘right permitted’ can be elected, which is far from meeting popular wishes, which means that the stablishment will still continue giving the letters in Brazil,” said Eduardo.
In the program, which lasted about an hour and 30 minutes, one of the guests asked Eduardo about the “democratic governors” who would be “accepted by the financial market”, asking if it was necessary to “distrust” whom the market “has been praising too much”.
“I would suspect, right?” Replied the licensed deputy. “I think when you enter public life, you have to prioritize the public interest, not this or that segment. Especially when you assume certain positions,” he added.
