Jair Bolsonar’s affiliation with the PL was suspended last Sunday (14) after a fight between the president of the republic and the leader of the party, Valdemar da Costa Neto. At the same time, Bolsonaro will continue to search for a subtitle for participation in the 2022 elections.

Political scientist Paulo Niccoli Ramirez, professor at the São Paulo School of Sociology and Politics (Fesp-SP), says the case is an example of Bolsonaro’s inability to form any unions that could even pull him out of next year’s election.

“He has time until March next year to find a party, otherwise he will not be able to participate in the elections. This creates a double scenario: he may attack democracy again or not run for election. This shows how Bolsonaro is a pitiful figure, isolated and unable to unite the parties around him. In view of this, we can see that Sergio Moro will be a candidate in the second round against Lula, ”Niccoli told journalist Glauco Faria from Current Brazilian Radio…

Bolsonaro and Center

The event that announced Bolsonaro’s accession to the Liberal Party, which is part of the center, was scheduled for 22nd. However, the portal O Antagonist states that the suspension of the agreement follows an exchange of insults between Costa Neto and Bolsonaro, including “VTNC you and your children”, written by the PL leader to the President of the Republic.

The conversation would have ended in this way after Costa Neto turned down Bolsonar’s offer to assign his son Eduardo Bolsonar to be in charge of the subtitling in São Paulo. For Paulo Niccoli, it seems like LP will no longer be Bolsonaro’s party in 2022.

“This is a reflection of his three-year reign, marked by disobedience, the destruction of Brazil’s image, 600,000 deaths from the pandemic and threats to democracy. Therefore, the parties do not want to give Bolsonar carte blanche, ”the political scientist said.

This is Bolsonaro’s ninth signed talks since leaving PSL in 2019. According to the expert, it is likely that the president of the republic will close a small party in order to participate in the elections.

“He has never been a party leader. It does not have its own technical body, unlike organized parties. He is surrounded only by crazy and ignorant people, as a consequence of today’s Brazil. If he is a candidate, he will again show political disorganization and with amateurs. “

Lula in Europe

Former President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva received a round of applause on Monday (15) in Brussels (Belgium) after speaking at the High-level Conference of Latin America in the European Parliament.

“Lula is receiving a warm welcome, unlike Bolsonaro,” the website’s title says. Bloomberg – whose editorial line focuses on the financial market – comparing the receptions of former President Lula and Jair Bolsonaro during a visit to Europe.

For a political scientist, Lula’s visit and his reception by European politicians show that the former president is a real statesman, unlike Bolsonaro.

“Lula is on an international tour to garner political support. Two decades ago, he was equally applauded for lifting millions out of poverty. He is considered a statesman respected throughout the world. His trip was made to attract investors. Since Bolsonaro remains in power, there is a tendency for more investments to be withdrawn from the country, ”Niccoli said.
