Former SP Secretary of Public Security under Tarcísio de Freitas is seen as a name capable of strengthening the public security agenda and expanding the electoral reach of the candidacy
The national political scenario gains new contours with the ventilation of the name of the federal deputy as a possible candidate for vice president on a ticket led by Senator . The articulation, driven by chiefs of the seeks to capitalize on the topic of public security, which has emerged as the main concern of the Brazilian electorate in recent surveys.
Guilherme Derrite, who left his position as Secretary of Public Security of São Paulo last December, is seen as a strong technical and political name. During his tenure in the government of Tarcísio de Freitas and his work in the Federal Chamber, he stood out for rigorous agendas, being the rapporteur of the project that put an end to the temporary releases of prisoners, the “saidinhas”.
Despite the enthusiasm of sectors of the São Paulo PP, political analysts consider that the viability of the ticket depends on Flávio Bolsonaro’s ability to expand his support base beyond the Bolsonaro ideological core, reaching centrist parties. Furthermore, Derrite’s candidacy for vice-president competes with other strategic plans: the deputy is considered a strong candidate for the Senate for São Paulo and a natural name for Palácio dos Bandeirantes, if Tarcísio de Freitas decides to run for Planalto.
