reviewer UOL Leonardo Sakamoto spoke today about the impact of Marcio France’s (PSB) withdrawal from the São Paulo government dispute. Pessebist announced that he would run for the Senate on a list led by Fernando Haddad (Portugal), and for Sakamoto, this movement marked the beginning of the political game in São Paulo.
“You can say that with the departure of Marcio Franca and Ramut [PSD] going to be vice president of the Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), the political game really starts in São Paulo,” he said during his participation in UOL news.
For Sakamoto, even though the polls point to a bigger win for Haddad and Rodrigo Garcia (PSDB) with this move, the presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro (PL) may also be beneficial.
“Tarcio expects Bolsonaro to translate the votes of the fans, but the president has a very big rejection in Sao Paulo. So he hopes to connect his image to a more moderate reality, and bringing someone like Kassab into play could be very helpful and help expand dialogue and build bridges with the São Paulo business community, legislators and mayors, making it more attractive and promoting that image of a more central candidate. He sticks to figures like Bolsonaro and Kassab and tries to go in the middle.”
Regarding Marcio Franza’s candidacy for the Senate, Sakamoto emphasized that Luis Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) is elected president, the PSB candidate must be called to a ministry in their government. In this case, your deputy on the ticket must become a senator. He also stressed that all this movement in the political game of São Paulo was mainly due to the departure of host José Luis Datena from the electoral dispute to the Senate.
“The real detail that moved and forced to move was Datena’s departure. Now, with this agreement with Marcio França, Haddad should start visiting the Sao Paulo hinterland, including with Geraldo Alcmin. Haddad needs Alcmine because he can bring more votes to the center of São Paulo, which is an anti-PT region. (…) Now the candidacy is starting to move.”
