Governor said that ‘anxiety’ of the senator ‘to put himself as a candidate for vice president of Governor Tarcisio is shameful’; Nogueira tried to put hot cloths and said that both of them is Lula
The governor of Goiás, Ronaldo Caiado (União Brasil), criticized this Sunday (5) the Senator and National President of Progressives (PP), Ciro Nogueira (PI), after statements about the presidential succession of 2026. In publications on social networks, Caiado classified as “shameful” the attempt of Ciro to position himself as a spokesman for former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) Governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans).
“Ciro Nogueira’s anxiety to put himself as a candidate for vice president of Governor Tarcisio is shameful, and something so stark that he already puts himself as a spokesman for President Bolsonaro, which he is not,” said Caiado. The governor added that if Bolsonaro wanted a representative, “it would certainly be one of his children or his wife, Michelle.”
The reaction occurred after Cyrus declared, in an interview with the Globothat “if it were today” would see only two viable names for the presidential race – Tarcisio and the governor of Paraná, Ratinho Júnior (PSD). According to the senator, both would have “half of Bolsonaro’s rejection and great growth potential,” as long as they had the support of the former president.
Caiado accused the senator of trying to decide for Bolsonaro and to exclude other names from the right of the electoral debate. “At the very point, Ciro already vetoes at least three pre-candidatures: those of Romeu Zema, Eduardo Bolsonaro and mine, providing a huge disservice on the right,” said the Goian, who is a pre-candidate for the Plateau.
The clash occurs amid the recent federation between União Brasil and PP, acronym presided by Ciro Nogueira. Caiado’s allies recognize that the governor faces difficulties to viable electorally within the right field, now fragmented between regional leaders and attempts to maintain the support of pockets. In response to criticism, Ciro mocked the governor. “Our opponent is Lula. Caiado, can you say anything: are you right. Satisfied?” Wrote the senator on social networks.
