Presidentelect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva began his campaign in 2021, attracting any leftwing leaders who might weaken his candidacy. He got liability from Guilherme Boulos (PSol), Marina Silva (speech) and PSB, with former toucan Geraldo Alckmin as his deputy on the ticket. With that duty over, Ciro Gomes was left to pursue a solo career or to ally with Simone Tebet’s MDB, who was nearly denied his candidacy by Lula’s allied Emedebistas. In the second round, the PT extended these movements by tightening the center. Now he will repeat the dose to Bolsonaro’s allies, reading Centrão and Aggregate.
Many are betting that isolating Bolsonaro won’t be that easy. Centrão will have one foot in the ruling canoe and the other in the opposition. Which one will prevail depends on the satisfaction of its members with the PT administration.
Diplomacy, DDay
The Bolsonaristas intend to call more demonstrations in addition to the one advertised on the All Souls Day holiday. The most important one on the calendar is December 19, the date of the graduation of Presidentelect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and VicePresident Geraldo Alckmin. However, PT members believe these movements tend to be empty until then, lacking an agenda other than military intervention and noncompliance with defeat.
Valdemar’s game
By promising President Jair Bolsonaro the entire structure so that he can remain in Brasilia and establish himself as opposition leader, PL President Valdemar da Costa Neto keeps a foot in Bolsonarianism but will not shy away from an institutional relationship with the future government. If it’s not well attended, it won’t try to contain the “Pittbulls”.
political calculations
On the part of the Bolsonaristas, it is defined that the idea is to stay where they are. And if coexistence becomes difficult, a way out will be the party resulting from the merger of the PTB with the Patriotas.
don’t come at all
In the conversation that the budget rapporteur, Senator Marcelo Castro (MDBPI), had with Senatorelect Wellington Dias (PTPI) by telephone, there was talk of a budget revision, but at no point was there a secret budget, nickname of such amendments of the rapporteur. The idea of Congress is to resist tampering with these resources.
finished speech
Congressmen already have the justification on their tongues for holding the budget in their hands. They will say the changes will be transparent as set out in the Budget Guidelines Act (LDO).
the time of politics Coordinator of Lula’s Federal District Campaign, Geraldo Magela versus CB.Poder The Bolsonarista root party of the parliamentarians of the Centrão bloc read that there are no negotiations with the extreme right. However, talks with Gilberto Kassab’s PSD and União Brasil are “for yesterday”.
And to gather strength União Brasil elected four governors and 60 deputies, a force seen as crucial to increasing the political stability of the future government in Congress. As in the case of the military, the biggest bet to build this bridge is… Geraldo Alckmin, who traveled extensively around the country with Neto in 2006.
Very quiet at this time / The PSD gets along well with Lula, but accepting a government job is another story. The party holds the post of lieutenant governor of São Paulo and intends to continue this honeymoon with governorelect Tarcísio de Freitas for a long time to come.
In the meantime, downtown…/ The PSDB meeting scheduled for next week is intended to keep some distance from the incoming Lula government, as well as Cidadania and Podemos. The MDB, where Simone Tebet put her heart and soul into the PT campaign in the second round, is at a crossroads. A community doesn’t want Simone to be a minister. Another thinks it would be better for them to join government and gain more visibility. Today begins the conversation season, which will not end until the day of initiation.
