The PSB and PT benches are expected to meet separately next week to discuss a common theme: federation. The problem that has arisen, say the parliamentarians who participated in the discussion as a “lifeline” for the PCdoB, is gaining traction on the sidelines, based on the following argument: will rule with former President Lula if he is elected President of the Republic in 2022.

It is the strategic political component that drives the discussion. Such reasoning developed behind the scenes through a federation of PT, PCdoB, PSB, and PSOL. In other words, the idea is that these acronyms form the basis of the campaign, which will serve as a reference point for the government’s support base.

In parallel with this political variable, there is one more – the electoral one. The latter is due to the prevailing opinion in these parties today that, on the proportional map analyzed in each specific case, it seems that the best condition for maintaining or expanding benches in the course of electoral disputes is a federation.

This growing sympathy for the federation’s supporters comes from the growing closeness of the alliance of the four parties around Lula. And it was this line of reasoning that sparked the ongoing sewing around the federation, uniting the four acronyms.

do not repeat the mistake
Pro-federation parliamentarians with PT, PCdoB, PSOL and PSB privately admit that one of the criticisms of the Lula administration was that it left this core and shifted political support for its government to the center. “This deepened during the reign of Dilma. There has been a breakaway from the toughest core, which has a political identity, ”recalls an opposition deputy who prefers not to identify himself.

By month> As the convoy sang the stone, the national president of PT, Glazy Hoffmann, convened the national executive body last Monday to present the federation’s proposal. With whom exactly to join the federation was not discussed, but the consequences were discussed.

Listen> Among the members of the PC, it was decided to hold a meeting with the bench of deputies, senators and the national council to discuss the party’s chances of federation.

However> PT has six senators who are due to meet next week to discuss federation. The biggest difficulty in articulation would be in the game. Regional problems are important and the fact that the mechanism provides for vertical integration and a minimum period of four years.

Variable> Geraldo Alcmin is ready to leave PSDB but is still considering three alternatives: PSB, PSD, União Brasil. At PT and PSB, where leaders are betting on him to form a roster with Lula, the bets on him leaving the toucan nest have skyrocketed given what they call “slowness” on toucan caucus.
