On January 1st, the governor wished his followers happy holidays, linking the message “Happy New Year” to “Fora PT”. Then, on January 3, during the capture of the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, Tarcísio used a video with images of Lula and spoke about convenience and omission with the dictatorship in the neighboring country.

While the first insertion on the networks was already ready, the second, by surprise, was recorded during the São Paulo Chief Executive’s trip to the United States. He is on vacation and returns to activities in São Paulo on the 12th.

At the time, people close to them told the column that the idea was to have “clear positions and no compromises”, in addition to continuing to sell the image of a manager.
