Marinho says that Flávio can have ‘two platforms’ in the DF and opens the way for Izalci

The PL-DF is experiencing a split over Flávio Bolsonaro’s platform with the district government. Michelle Bolsonaro and Bia Kicis defend support for governor Celina Leão (PP-DF), and state that “in a meeting with the party president, Valdemar Costa Neto, support for Celina Leão’s pre-candidacy was defined”. The senator Izalci Lucas seeks to position himself as a pre-candidate for the PLbetting that the investigations against Celina in Operation Drácon could force the party to back down.

It was in this context that Rogério Marinho, coordinator of Flávio’s campaign, said this Monday (27) to Jovem Pan: “Here we already have a nod of support from Celina and Arruda himself, so the DF is a place where, in the worst case scenario, we will have two platforms for the State government.”

The phrase does not abandon Celina, but publicly legitimizes the possibility of a second platform — opening up a concrete space for Izalci Lucas, without directly confronting Michelle and Bia Kicis.
