PT Minister criticizes governor of SP for saying that he would forgive the former president if elected
The Minister of Institutional Relations, (PT), said that the governor of São Paulo, (Republicans), is “Phantoche candidate” By stating that if elected president, he intends to grant pardon to the former president (PL).
For Gleisi, (PT) is a “President who thinks of the people and the country”and Tarcísio, “A puppet candidate who only thinks about serving the interests of his boss”. The message was on his social networking profile this Sunday (31.ago.2025).
In an interview with GRANDE ABC DIARYthe governor of São Paulo stated that forgiveness would be one of his first acts: “At the time. Because I think all this that is happening is absolutely disarrayed”.
The presidential pardon is a forgiveness that can completely or partially extinguish the penalty of who was convicted. Bolsonaro, when president, has already granted the former deputy (PL-RJ), but the (Supreme Federal Court) the act.
In the case of Bolsonaro, the (Attorney General’s Office) his conviction for crimes such as armed criminal organization, attempted violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law, coup and qualified damage against the heritage of the Union.
The Supreme Court begins to judge Bolsonaro on Tuesday (2.Set).
Gleisi’s criticism may already be a sign of how governors can treat a possible Tarcisio candidacy to the Planalto in 2026. Something similar took place in 2018. At the time, the PT presidential candidate was called.
