After the senator (-PI) was the target of Operation Compliance Zero, which investigates B fraud, the governor of Piauí, Rafael Fonteles (PT), said he expected a record vote for the president (PT) in the state.
To the Panel, he avoided making a connection with his opponent, but said he was confident of getting a better vote for the PT member than that recorded in the 2022 elections.
In the last election, in the second round: almost 77% of the votes. He was even ahead of Bahia, a PT electoral stronghold.
“The goal is to break a new record and guarantee an even better vote for Lula. We are confident that the people of Piauí will guarantee the president’s reelection,” Fonteles told the Panel.
Behind the scenes, government officials watch the investigations against the parliamentarian.
The suspicion is that the senator has acted in favor of private interests. He even proposed an amendment to increase the FGC (Credit Guarantee Fund) coverage limit from R$250,000 to R$1 million.
Furthermore, they indicate the payment of a supposed “allowance” to Ciro Nogueira, with amounts reaching R$500 thousand.
The latest Atlas/Bloomberg survey shows that voting intentions for Ciro fell six percentage points, from 17.7% to 11.9%.
