The Partido Novo party announced this Thursday (26), support for the re-election of the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans). The first acronym to make the endorsement official, Novo also confirmed the pre-candidacy of federal deputy Ricardo Salles for the Senate.
The meeting, however, does not mean that Tarcísio will support the former Minister of the Environment in his endeavor. The governor will also discuss the topic with senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), pre-candidate for President.
Tarcísio participates this morning in a meeting with Flávio Bolsonaro, and the topic should be debated, although there is no promise of an immediate definition of the impasse.
— My candidacy is confirmed, but Tarcísio’s support is still being worked on with the PL and Flávio to avoid three right-wing candidates — he said.
The presidents of the national directory of Novo, Eduardo Ribeiro, and of the state directory in São Paulo, Fernando Henrique Meira de Castro, participated in the meeting that made the support official. Salles and state deputy Leonardo Siqueira were also present.
For the Senate race, Tarcísio’s former Secretary of Public Security, Guilherme Derrite (PP), is one of the names being considered. Also circulating in the conversations are former governor Rodrigo Garcia (no party) and the current vice-mayor of São Paulo, Ricardo Mello de Araújo (PL). The name of federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL) was also not completely discarded.
