Quoted as a candidate for president next year, the governor (Republicans) said on Saturday (12) that he sees the tariff to Brazil announced by “something complicated” to Brazil and called the requirement for amnesty as a “point of view” in the face of the current crisis with the United States.
“I think the moment demands union of efforts, demands synergy, because it is complicated for Brazil, it is something complicated for some segments of our industry, our agribusiness. We need to be hand in hand now to resolve, put the political issue aside and we will try to resolve this issue,” said the governor in the municipality of Cerquilho (SP).
Asked about the general amnesty requirement in exchange for the end of the tariff, as made by the licensed deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro and his allies, Tarcisio said this is a matter of point of view.
“This is a matter of point of view, at this point I have to look at the state of. I am governor of the state, there are interests that need to be preserved, interests of our companies, our producers. And that is what we have to put first.
In this Saturday’s interview, Tarcisio was also asked about having to authorize Bolsonaro to travel to the US to meet Trump and negotiate the tariff. The initiative revealed by the Sheetwas considered surprising and strange by the ministers.
“I signed a petition? No. This is silly,” he told reporters in the interior of São Paulo.
In recent days, Tarcisio has sought to remove wear at the tariff and in the last hours he has been round of conversations that passed the former president (), ministers of the (Supreme Court) and those in Brazil.
The Government (PT) has associated the economic consequences of the tariff with opposition, including Tarcisio, Bolsonaro’s ally.
According to the governor’s interlocutors, Tarcisio can be placed as a possible negotiator with Trump. The governor, however, in addition to finding obstacles in the conversation with ministers of the Supreme, saw resistance within the pocket field for this attempted dialogue with the United States.
licensed deputy and son of the former president, said for example that the eventual end of the tariff to the accused of the coup plot, which would include his father, defendant in the STF in the coup plot.
Former presenter Paulo Figueiredo, another pocketist who has a lawyer in the US for sanctions against the Lula administration, said Tarcisio “disturbs without even knowing.” “While the system hopes that it will emerge as the savior of the homeland by intermediating an agreement with the US, they will not even consider the one that is the only real solution: the broad, general and unrestricted amnesty.”
Another obstacle to Tarcisio’s aspirated negotiator’s role is Bolsonaro himself, who in a note a day earlier made it clear that what interests him is amnesty. The 50% rate of Brazilian products and their consequences for local producers have been ignored by the former president, who asks for haste to the powers to meet Trump’s demands.
In addition, according to allies, Bolsonaro wants to centralize in him and his children the direct dialogue with the Trump government. A possible Tarcisio mediation is seen by the clan as an attempt to flight from the former president’s political godson, who could be more politically strengthened in case of success.
Trump’s letter to Lula about the fare makes it clear that US motivation is the search for the end of the process against Bolsonaro in the STF.
Trump is an ally of Bolsonaro, Tarcisio’s political godfather, who is a fan of the US president, even on social networks after the US elections, something that has been explored by allies of the Planalto Palace in the face of the current crisis.
Tarcisio’s search now for a negotiator protagonism occurs, as the Sheetin an attempt to balance Bolsonaro between faithfulness and respect for justice and democracy.
