PT president, Edinho Silva, said that the party “does not debate opponents”, but rather the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The statement, given after questioning about Flávio Bolsonaro’s pre-candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic, was after a meeting of the PT National Directorate, in Brasília.
“We don’t debate opponents, we debate our government”, said Edinho when questioned by the press.

Another point discussed was the defense of the creation of the Ministry of Public Security. Currently, the role is occupied by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, led by Minister Ricardo Lewandowski.
Edinho said that “it is a consensus” in the PT to defend the creation of the department. “The importance of creating the Ministry of Public Security is a consensus in the party. It is the party’s position, it does not mean that it is the government’s position. (In the PT document) there will be the creation (of the ministry)”, he declared.
