Petista direction wants to expand polarization focused on tariff, coup and taxation of rich; Document should be presented at the end of the week, after the possible application of the 50% tariff by the US
The PT is expected to approve next weekend during a national meeting in Brasilia and after the possible application of the tariff, a document with criticism of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and the performance of far-right Brazilian politicians. The text will be the strategic base of the subtitle for the 2026 elections, when President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva should seek reelection. The information is from the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo.
The document is prepared by the internal current building a new Brazil (CNB), a majority in the party for over two decades, which has won the last direct election of the acronym. The first version of the text, presented in May, underwent relevant changes in the face of the new political scenario, marked by Trump’s tariff offensive against Brazil and the climbing of Bolsonarist rhetoric.
New phase of polarization
The new text must intensify the polarization strategy. On the one hand, it associates internal pockets with international trumps; On the other hand, bet on defense of popular measures, such as the proposal for “BBB tax” – billionaires, banks and sports betting.
The flag of “tax justice” has, driven by pieces created using artificial intelligence.
The evaluation of the petista summit is that direct confrontation with Trump and the far right can consolidate a political narrative of national sovereignty and income redistribution. Internally, the party also wants to neutralize criticism of the government, especially in the economic and environmental areas.
The final document will be one of the party’s pre-campaign axes to Lula’s reelection, serving as a programmatic and discursive basis for the coming months.
