Political movements aimed at the 2022 presidential election picked up steam last week with the joining of former minister and former judge Lava Yato, Sergio Moro, to Podemos, and are tending to rekindle even more before the end of this year with definitions of names to come into controversy. for large-scale parties such as the PSDB, which is scheduled to preview on November 21st.

Even if there is less than a year and eight months left before the elections before the official registration period for candidacies in the Electoral Court, the main bets in the current political scenario are already speaking in a pre-electoral tone, with opinions and suggestions about what they consider Best for Brazil and provocations for possible future opponents in the election race.

This panorama shows the current president of the republic, Jair Bolsonaro, and the former president, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, who awaken an atmosphere of political polarization among the Brazilian population. The first, when it became the main alternative against Lula and against PT, whose image was undermined mainly by Operation Lava Jato, won the 2018 election with little TV time and little political support. Nearly four years later, if he tries to be re-elected, his leadership and position as president will be put to the test.

Lula, on the other hand, released from prison in 2019 following a new interpretation by the Supreme Court (STF) prohibiting imprisonment immediately after sentencing in 2nd instance, reappears as the leading name on the left, based on another Supreme Court decision. Judge Sergio Moro found him guilty of conviction of PT in the triplex case in Guaruja. On the other hand, he still faces resistance from a large part of the population, and in the event of a dispute, he will have to respond to mistakes made while operating the PC.

Amid this polarization, several names are being promoted as the “third way,” including Moro himself, former minister Jair Bolsonaro, who joined Somoz last week. “No more corruption, no monthly benefits, no gasoline, no cracks, no secret budget,” he said in a clear message to political opponents at the time. He left the government, accusing the president of attempting to interfere with the PF. Bolsonaro, in turn, accuses the former minister of having conditioned the change of the PF for nomination to the Supreme Court.

Former Judge Love Yato’s entry into politics continues to draw criticism and mistrust from a large segment of the population, but it already worries other candidates who present themselves as alternatives to Lula and Bolsonar. “Moreau’s candidacy will only exacerbate his identity crisis. He lived under the guise of a judge and now wants to disguise himself as a politician in order to resolve his huge contradictions. No clothes suit him, ”provoked Ciro Gomes, a preliminary candidate from PDT, on Twitter. The former governor of Ceará, who also does not spare criticism of Lula and the current president, even “suspended” his candidacy after PDT deputies supported a proposal to amend the Constitution, which provides for an annual cap on federal government spending on judicial decisions. … He backed down last week after a party rally backed down and voted against the PEC in the 2nd round of evaluation.
