The former minister () resumed talks to run for governor of São Paulo, with the argument that this could make it possible to hold a second round in the state. His emissaries spoke with state PT leaders last week.
The project gained strength after the withdrawal of and (Missão) from competing in Bandeirantes, announced in the last few days.
The assessment is that, if only Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans) and Fernando Haddad (PT) remain as competitive candidates, the tendency is for the election to have only one round, as any other names will be representatives of dwarf parties.
In this scenario, France’s entry into the dispute would have the potential to take some votes away from Tarcísio and prevent him from reaching an absolute majority in the first vote.
Furthermore, the former minister and Haddad would act in tandem against the current governor. France, in particular, is known for its combative style in debates and social media.
Furthermore, the imbroglio regarding candidatures for the Senate would be resolved, as names are placed for only two vacancies.
In this scenario, France’s ticket would only launch Tebet, while Marina would run alone on Haddad’s ticket. There would thus be an informal alliance between the two candidates.
