The governors (Republicans-SP), (-GO) e. (PSD-PR) Silenced on the imposition of one by the President of the, announced on Wednesday (9).
In the letter sent to the President (PT) announcing the fare, Trump came out in defense of former president (), investigated by the Supreme Court (STF) by the coup plot. Governors are seen as presidential in 2026 and possible heirs of votes in the pocket field.
None of the three governors made public statements about Trump’s decision, which will directly affect the economies of their respective states. The same happened when, in February, Trump announced 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
Mineiro Romeu Zema (Novo), who is also quoted as presidential in 2026, spoke attacking President Lula. “Brazilian companies and workers will pay, once again, the account of Lula, Janja and the Supreme Court. Ignoring good diplomacy, promoting persecution, censorship and still making cheap provocations will be expensive for Minas and Brazil.”
Governors’ allies told the Sheet that they are in a skirt.
While more fiercely pockets have ever manifested themselves on the nets, putting Trump’s decisions on Lula’s account and STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes, governors study how to maintain a moderate image in the face of the current conjuncture.
In addition, they also fear that Brazilian companies and investors damaged by Trump’s act can negatively interpret any defenses to Bolsonaro and Trump. Survey made by Sheet It shows that between January and June this year, the four states earned R $ 9.9 billion with exports to the US, most of them, R $ 6.3 billion, referring only to products from.
Ratinho Jr, although he did not talk about Trump, published after the announcement an excerpt from an interview in which he puts himself as a name contrary to polarization. “I didn’t waste time fighting with anyone, because the people don’t pay me to fight, pay to work,” he says in the video.
The highest expectation among the governors themselves is for what Tarcisio will say in defense of Bolsonaro. Political godson of the former president, the governor of São Paulo is seen as a favorite to run for presidency next year, even insisting that he will be a candidate for reelection in the state.
Two days ago, Tarcísio shared a post from Trump and criticizing the STF. The governor said that his political godfather “must be tried only by the Brazilian people during the elections.” Nevertheless, he saves the supreme attacks and tries to maintain a cordial relationship with the ministers.
Bolsonaro has repeated to be. President Lula has called a last -minute meeting with ministers on Wednesday, and saying that Brazil “is a sovereign country with independent institutions that will not accept being protected by anyone.”
