The senator (PI), president of , spoke out on social media this Saturday (21) about the former president’s move () to have a ticket for the in Santa Catarina made up of his son (PL), former councilor in Rio, and the federal deputy (PL).
Bolsonaro’s choice is a change. The two names for the Senate in Santa Catarina would be Carlos and Senator Esperidião Amin (PP), which was communicated to De Toni, who even announced his departure from the party.
The deputy had agreed to join Novo to run for the Senate, which would risk a division of votes in Bolsonarism.
On social media, this Saturday, Ciro wrote: “We at Progressistas are from the time when we believe in words”, while sharing a report from the Metrópoles website that said that De Toni wanted a letter from Bolsonaro so as not to leave the PL.
De Toni is the former first lady’s (PL) preferred name to run for the Senate in SC, where the governor (PL) will run for re-election. Michelle’s preference for the deputy weighed on Bolsonaro’s decision, say allies.
Bolsonaro’s decision caused a split on the Santa Catarina right. By defending a pure ticket in the dispute for the Senate, the former president goes against Governor Jorginho, who preferred to support Amin’s re-election.
Although Amin is a faithful ally of Bolsonarism in the state, Bolsonaro’s option was based on research that shows the deputy better positioned than the senator.
