After former governor Rosalba Charlini (PP) confirmed during her speech at the tactical meeting of the Progressive Party this Saturday, 29 that she will not run for any elective office in this year’s general election, Natal Mayor Alvaro Dias ( PSDB) deplored the fact and left in the air a request to the former manager: “Rosalba Charlini must return to politics in Rio Grande do Norte.”
The appeal of the toucan suggested the desire of the municipal manager to support the name of the former governor in a possible race for the government of Rio Grande do Norte. “I want to give a statement of what I understand, think and what I think, with all my heart and soul, because I understand that a serious, well-meaning, capable and competent person who has made a great contribution and still inform the state, that this is former governor Rosalba Charlini and that she needs to return to politics in Rio Grande do Norte,” he urged.
According to Alvaro Diaz, such a person as a former manager, who has determination, strength, energy and ideas, cannot remain outside of politics. “So the invitation has been made. And I want to say that the politics of Rio Grande do Norte are what will create the future for all of us. Therefore, if our future is based on politics, we cannot refuse good, courageous people who defend good ideas and can contribute to RN,” he emphasized.
It is necessary for the mayor that our state moves forward and for this “we cannot give up these people, so I end my words by telling you that I have high hopes and optimism that Rio Grande do- Northie move forward,” he said.
Before Alvaro Dias spoke, Rosalba said she would not stand for election this year: “I want to strengthen my party, I never said I would be a candidate. We will be on the streets, in the cities, but as party mates,” he said. The former governor did not announce the possibility of a reassessment of her position, but on her social networks she repeated the request of the mayor of Natal to return to public life.
During the event, the Mayor of Natal criticized the administration of Governor Fatima Bezerra (PT). “While the current government disappoints us all, we need to build the future and we will. And for those who do not believe and who find it difficult, we are going to restore and promote Rio Grande do Norte,” he said.
The mayor’s request could carry important weight as he won’t support state government pre-candidates now running, but is considering alternatives before the conventions.
Agora RN already foresaw in a previous report that behind the scenes of Potiguar politics, it was speculated that the former governor could come as a surprise, which Alvaro Diaz referred to when he confirmed that he would in no way support gubernatorial candidate Fabio Dantas (SD). The mayor also said that the name of the government of Rio Grande do Norte could still appear.
