The National Directory of the PT met in Brasilia last Saturday, one day after Flavio Bolsonaro announce that he was chosen by his father to run for the presidency of the Republic.
But the launch of the senator’s pre-candidacy at the Palácio do Planalto was left off the agenda of the meeting of Lula’s party leadership.
One meeting participant commented:
— We haven’t even mentioned Flávio’s name…
According to this PT member, the announcement of Jair Bolsonaro’s son 01 was ignored because there are still many doubts about its veracity and viability in the presidential race.
Furthermore, the senator himself came out one day and said the next day that the candidacy “had a price” to remove. Later, in an interview with Record, he added that the only way he would give up would be if his father was “free, at the polls.”
PT Communications Secretary Éden Valadares stressed that the text of the resolution approved on Saturday does not mention Flávio because it is “much broader and deeper than what Bolsonaro will choose.”
— This is not decisive for the PT. This could prove important for the launch of the campaign. Whether it’s Michele, Tarcísio, Flávio or Eduardo. But for PT, this no longer matters. For us, everyone there is also the son of Jair Bolsonaro.
