Members of see signs that, mayor of Recife and Novo, intends to attract politicians from outside the left to the subtitle in a pragmatism movement similar to what his father did, former governor Eduardo Campos (killed in 2014 in one).
The party leader told the Sheet That the caption needs to increase your vote, which requires more affiliations, and that “bringing more people does not mean that everyone thinks the same.” He also defended “bring and strengthen defenders of democracy.”
João Campos states, however, that his father promoted the right affiliations because of the presidential candidacy. The situation would be different now because the PSB does not intend to have a candidate for Planalto in 2026. The party wants to keep at the post of vice president (PT).
In his campaign to the Planalto Palace in 2014, Eduardo Campos expanded his base affiliating to the PSB names of the right, such as the today Senator (PP) and Paulo Bornhausen (PSD), part of one of the most traditional conservative lineages of Brazilian politics.
In the following years, most of the PSB voted in favor of (PT) impeachment and some members supported measures adopted by the Government (PL).
The main evidence of the new movement that João Campos’s co -religionists observe would be the negotiations to join the mayor of Maceió, João Henrique Caldas (PL), JHC, and to create a federation between PSB and citizenship – this last case there are two distinct interpretations within the legend.
The measures would increase the pessebistic capacity to elect federal deputies, decisive to put on the slice of the subtitle in the party and electoral funds, as well as candidates for other positions.
. His first election for the municipal executive in 2020 ,. The possible new agreement would also involve the appointment of his aunt, prosecutor, to the Superior Court of Justice.
This would also depend on Lula, who is responsible for the court. If he returns to the PSB, JHC would be part of the base that supports the petista.
João Campos said he was friends with JHC. “We have always been talked about, but there is no definition about affiliation or not,” he said.
Federation on the horizon
The Federation with Citizenship would oblige the PSB to negotiate its majority candidacies with a party that has members to the right of the political spectrum.
The best known name of citizenship, for example, is the federal deputy (SP), who was candidate for mayor of São Bernardo do Campo (SP) in 2024 with a PL deputy near Bolsonaro. At the time, the deputy defined himself as a center-right politician.
“Our alternative is always to escape polarization,” Mantnte said about the party’s political plans for the future. In an interview with Sheet In May, Campos said it is.
Conversations with both JHC and citizenship began when the PSB was still chaired by Carlos Siqueira.
The party’s president has told allies that the PSB will be able to beat the performance clause alone, which restricts access to parties misunderstood to public resources. Federations allow two or more subtitles to add their votes to be entitled to this money.
PSB sectors understood these lines as a sign that the leader does not want a formal alliance. By this assessment, it would be more interesting for Campos, quoted to compete in a presidential election in the future, strengthen your party without linking to another subtitle. This would facilitate any candidacy for the Plateau.
Other sectors of the PSB evaluate that speech is just a protocol statement of party president that does not indicate contradiction to the federation. He did not ban negotiations when he took command of the subtitle.
João Campos states that most of the PSB is in favor of the alliance and that the decision is collective, not only the presidency of the acronym. “What I will always consider is to see what the size and the size of the result,” he said.
