The governor of, (Republicans), warned () that he would adopt the defense speech – and not amnesty to the pockets – in the face of the imposition of Brazilian products by.
The warning was given on Thursday afternoon (10), at a closed meeting at the headquarters of the São Paulo government in Brasilia.
Tarcisio is quoted to run for the presidency next year, although he says he will try to reelection in Sao Paulo. Trump associated the measure with criticism of Bolsonaro’s treatment for Brazil, especially about the former president’s judgment in the Federal Supreme Court of the 2022 coup plot.
In the conversation, according to reports collected by SheetBolsonaro was silent in front of Tarcisio’s warning and made no contrary demonstrations.
A person close to the former president, however, said he was opposed to the meeting. On the same day, in a note on social networks, Bolsonaro did not even merit the tariff and which would benefit him in the trial.
Trump is an ally of Bolsonaro, Tarcisio’s political godfather, who is a fan of the US president, even after the US elections, something that has been explored by allies of the Planalto Palace in the face of the current crisis.
The economic damage of the measures adopted by Trump, estimated at billions of reais, opened the crack in Bolsonarism and placed Tarcisio in a direct clash with the licensed federal deputy (PL-SP).
The former president’s son celebrates the tariff and expects him to pressure Congress to approve the amnesty to people linked to the blow to Bolsonaro himself. The senator adopted a line similar by charging amnesty to solve the tariff.
Eduardo was self-disclaimed to us with the promise of articulating sanctions on the STF minister, and has now praised Trump’s tariff. Already Tarcisio states, as he did (12), that the tariffs are bad for the economy of São Paulo and that it is necessary to “leave the political issue aside and try to resolve this issue”.
Both are listed to receive Bolsonaro’s nomination to run for presidency next year, as Bolsonaro is ineligible at least 2030. Tarcisio is supported by the center-right party leaders, while Eduardo is the favorite of radical pockets.
The conversation between Tarcisio and Bolsonaro occurred less than 24 hours after the announcement of the sanctions of the US President.
That afternoon, each on their social networks, just before the meeting begins. The images showed them both coming to a restaurant in Brasilia, hugging supporters and smiling.
At the meeting, Bolsonaro proved to be happy with the US president’s gesture in his defense. But he acknowledged that surcharge reaches entrepreneurs who support him, especially in the agricultural sector, which could compromise his popularity.
Tarcísio decided to communicate Bolsonaro personally from his decision after feeling pressure from entrepreneurs, agricultural sector, and allies – which they evaluated as null the chances of an amnesty project to thrive based on threats to Trump’s national sovereignty.
After the conversation, the governor to face US measures, according to the Sheet showed.
In addition to seeking US diplomatic representation in Brasilia to present data on business transactions between São Paulo and the country, he called the STF ministers to try to retrieve Bolsonaro’s passport – which, according to the Monica Bergamo column, said from Sheetby members of the Court.
The two returned to talk after these actions, which was played by members of the Bandeirantes Palace as a sign that Bolsonaro did not disallow the ally’s movement.
This is not the first episode in which godfather and godson disagree with political issues. A previous example was the support for the reelection of the mayor of the capital, Ricardo Nunes (MDB), last year.
Bolsonaro even told Tarcisio that it was a mistake to support Nunes, which he considered weak, but the governor insisted and proved to be right, since the mayor was reelected.
Councilman Carioca (PL), another son of the former president and in charge of his social networks, published a text congratulating the governor for direct articulation with the United States, in contrast to his younger brother.
Tarcisio’s actions represent a quick route correction in the face of the crisis.
When Trump published a text asking to “leave at peace” Bolsonaro last Monday (7), Tarcisio praised the gesture and, saying that the former president “should only be judged by the Brazilian people during the elections.”
At the time, the expectation was that the eventual sanctions articulated by Eduardo would only reach Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
When the 50% surcharge was announced for all Brazilian products, Tarcisio initially maintained the high political temperature, blaming.
However, even sectors traditionally linked to pockets, such as agriculture, could approach survival reasons, to strengthen the president and Brazil in a possible negotiating table with the United States.
This Saturday, Tarcisio totally depoliticized the subject. In an interview in Cerquilho, in the interior of São Paulo, he said that “we need to be holding hands now, put the political issue aside and try to solve this issue” and that talking about amnesty, at this time, was a “matter of opinion.”
