Four right -wing governors viewed as presidential to 2026 have struck criticism of the government (PT) and anticipated electoral speeches for next year during an event in.
Promoted by the BTG Pactual Bank on the morning of Wednesday (13), the panel “uniting forces by agro”, aimed at discussing actions on behalf of, gathered the governors of São Paulo, (Republicans), from Goiás, (), Paraná ,. (), and Rio Grande do Sul, (PSD).
The four are quoted to the presidency against Lula himself, who will attempt reelection next year, and quoted alleged economic, institutional and moral crisis to justify the attacks on the petista.
“We live walking in a ciranda and discussing picuinha. Brazil can no longer be excess of spending, Brazil no longer tolerates tax increase, Brazil no longer tolerates corruption, Brazil can no longer stand the PT, Brazil can no longer stand Lula,” said Tarcisio.
The speech of the governor of São Paulo was one of the hardest he has ever made against the president. Tarcisio had given more direct attacks on Lula-generally alongside his political godfather, the former president (), who is under house arrest.
Tarcísio was minister of infrastructure in the Bolsonaro government and, in the folder, endorsed the then president’s negationist attitude over Covid. in which the former president laughed by commenting on an alleged increase in suicides in the pandemic.
In recent weeks, it has oscillated Trump’s endorsement after the tariff, messages to the judiciary and criticism of Lula, but retreated after the negative repercussion involving the consequences of Brazilian products.
Unlike the other three governors of this Wednesday’s event, Tarcisio has not yet publicly declared the desire to run for presidency next year. He says he will try to reelection to the São Paulo government, although behind the scenes, he has already signaled allies who would be a candidate if Bolsonaro pedisized.
During the debate, the four governors called for renewal in political staff and praised each other’s policies. “If it is not this crop of governors, Brazil would be much worse,” said Ratinho Jr.
Leite added that Lula was a presidential candidate on 7 of the last 10.
“The country needs to turn this page with a new generation. And here, that we can put a new agenda to the country, that is not simply to avoid the other. That we can vote on a country project, which we do not do to avoid the other,” he said.
Caiado stated that the country lives today “inconsequential, irresponsible populist policy,” that the president is “a political dwarf” and that there is a risk of a socialization process with the petista.
“Pay attention to you entrepreneurs, you investors, you bankers, you who are on the label that he says is responsible for the crisis: either Brazil creates Judgment and defeats Lula in 2026 or, otherwise, a process of socialization in the country with an increasing irresponsible machine,” he said.
Ratinho Jr. also said that the country is experiencing a “period of legal insecurity and disrespect for institutions” and criticized the way the federal government reacted to the tariff imposed by US President Donald Trump.
“It’s not eating jabuticaba and making video that will solve the country’s problems,” he said in reference to the video where Lula and telling Trump that who eats the fruit in the morning doesn’t need a tariff fight.
About the tariff, Caiado stated that “we were penalized because Lula decided to fight with Trump.”
Trump released the 50% rate on Brazilian products in a letter released in July in which he demanded that Brazil immediately interrupt what it called “Halloween” to Bolsonaro.
Last week, Tarcisio, Caiado and Ratinho Jr. of opposition to Lula, in Brasilia, to better align the union of the political group. The idea is that the right -wing governors can periodically meet to tune the criticism of the federal government and the performance of the Supreme Court (STF). The meeting took place shortly after Tarcisio’s visit to Bolsonaro.
