The governor of, (Republicans), braked last week A amid a wave of discouragement on the right with the resistance of the Bolsonaro clan to decide on 2026.
With Tarcisio slowing in the endeavor, the governor of Paraná ,. (), sought contact with São Paulo politicians and entrepreneurs throughout the week to make it possible as an alternative.
Tarcisio allies claim that his perspective on consolidating as (PT) in 2026 was farther after defeats of his political field, such as the rejection of the armor PEC, the weakening of the amnesty proposal and the acts last Sunday (21) against the two agenda.
In addition, allies of the governor of São Paulo and () have expressed concern about movements of people close to the former president trying to convince him of insisting on an application to the Planalto, even ineligible and with a 27-year-old conviction.
Among the right and center paintings, it was expected that, with the end of the year, Bolsonaro would indicate more safely that the staff would pass, but that did not happen. On the contrary, the family maintains the former president’s candidacy speech. Among these allies, there are those who see the senator (PL-RJ) and the deputy (PL-SP) in the dispute for his father’s electoral estate.
What discourages Tarcisio, according to his surroundings, is the lack of security that he would be the candidate. Despite denying this publicly, he had been preparing for this possibility in the face of positive nods by Bolsonaro. He will visit the former president next Monday (29).
Two deputies of the ruling base at Alesp (Legislative Assembly of Sao Paulo) told the report that, when braking the presidency offensive, Tarcisio seeks to preserve his image after being a public target of attacks by pockets, especially Eduardo, and from the left, with Lula putting him as the opponent to be beaten.
The governor’s demonstration of discouragement, in addition to the growing warnings of Bolsonaro’s allies, can also serve as a way to press the former president to decide.
While the governor distanced himself from the spotlight, Ratinho circulated through Sao Paulo alongside, president of his party and secretary of government of Tarcisio, trying to project himself in the state, which has the largest electorate in the country.
The agenda included a meeting with entrepreneurs, a lecture at the Commercial Association (where Kassab has influence), a ceremony of affiliation of a former secretary of culture of the capital and a dinner with former tucano Andrea Matarazzo. In addition, Ratinho also probed leaders from the interior of the state to help him coordinate the campaign, such as the former mayor of Itapevi Igor Soares (Somos), who in 2022 was with Tarcisio.
Matarazzo says he has known Ratinho for years and that the meeting was just to “talk a little”.
Despite the support, Kassab is reticent in giving up Tarcisio, who is still his first option for the presidency, according to the Sheet learned. Ratinho is his plan B, and the governor of Rio Grande do Sul,, plan C. The party intends to choose the most competitive name next year.
“It has had, on our part, the opening of space so that they [Ratinho e Leite] Present themselves, present their history, their legacy, “Kassab said on Friday (26) when participating in an event.” As governors, in fact, they are very well evaluated in their states. And let’s wait now the unfolding, the next few weeks, very calmly. “
For a party leader from São Paulo, Ratinho’s raids in Sao Paulo are an attempt to project him as, given the perception that Tarcisio opted for the most radical wing of pockets. This leader, however, evaluates that the governor of São Paulo still has time and conditions to reach political capital to defeat Lula.
Ratinho’s name also emerges as an alternative among pockets, but with some skepticism about his electoral viability, although he has low rejection and is still little known to the population.
The senator and president of, (PI), went to social networks on Friday (26) to express his dissatisfaction about the uncertainty.
“The lack of common sense on the right is already passing, I say here the right center, the right and its extreme. We either unified or we will throw away an election earn again,” he said.
“As much as we have divergences, we cannot be electoral cable of Lula, PT and PSOL,” he continued.
Ciro Nogueira is an enthusiast of a Tarcisio candidacy, who sees as who is most likely to defeat Lula.
Following Bolsonaro’s arrest, the governor of São Paulo intensified the amnesty articulation to his political godfather, considered an important gesture to win the most radical wing of pockets. He traveled to Brasilia and did it, but saw the proposal lose breath last week.
In the protest of Paulista Avenue, Tarcísio was one of the main targets of both the authorities who spoke and the protesters, who chanted choirs of “Fora, Tarcisio”. Guilherme Boulos (PSOL-SP), in one of the most applauded speeches, said the governor would never wear the presidential track. “It was not made for enemy, coward and traitor of the homeland,” he said.
Already the amnesty project, reported by Paulinho da Força (Solidarity-SP), ended up consolidating itself as the, limited to the reduction of penalties.
Members of the PSD and Paulistas heard by the report evaluate that Tarcisio had stumbled: in addition to the failure of amnesty, he had already been criticized by the immediate alignment to the Bolsonaro clan after the tariff of Donald Trump and the radicalized speech against Alexandre de Moraes, (Supreme Federal Court), on September 7.
On Wednesday (24), even in the face of negative reactions, the governor remained in defense of his amnesty proposal. “I hope it is done the best to look at those people who are [presas] On January 8 and looking at everyone who had unfair appearance, including President Bolsonaro, “he said when asked if he would accept the review of the penalties.
