Party placed an express clause on the subject in the contract; theme can generate judicialization of the event
The MDB will have a specialized company to ensure the secrecy of votes during the party’s virtual convention, scheduled for July 27. The theme can be used by wings opposed to the name of Simone Tebet, who must be confirmed as the party’s candidate for the presidency at the convention, to judicialize the choice.
According to Renato Ramos, a lawyer for the MDB, in addition to hiring the company AF Consultoria to take care of the voter accreditation system and the voting itself, the acronym placed an express clause in the contract determining that the secrecy of the vote is ensured by the contractor.
According to the call notice for the convention, published in the Official Gazette on July 19, the vote must be secret. read the intact (67 KB).
Questions about the system may still arise, however, with the escalation of criticism from groups opposed to Tebet’s name as a party candidate. The idea would be that the Zoom platform, by itself, does not ensure this secrecy and is mentioned in the public notice as the instrument to hold the convention.
the senator Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL), for example, told the Power 360on Thursday (21.Jul.2022), which will judicialize the convention if the party president, Baleia Rossi, does not resume dialogue with the Lula wing of the MDB and insists on a candidacy “without vote”.
“If there is no discussion of an alternative capable of bringing the currents of the MDB closer together, adopting an intelligent position, if this obsession of Baleia continues with its own candidacy, without competitiveness and without vote, we will judicialize”he said.
On Monday (July 18), party members from 11 Federation Units declared their support for the former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) to the Planalto Palace still in the 1st round.
After that, on Tuesday (July 19), MDB leaders in 19 states ratified their support for the pre-candidacy of Simone Tebet to the Presidency of the Republic. Here’s the intact (99 KB).
Renan declares that Baleia Rossi did not look for the Lula group to talk and that the convention should be postponed to August 5, the last possible day for the event according to the Electoral Law. In addition, he also wants the meeting to be face-to-face.
According to the Power 360the leadership of the MDB does not believe that the Calheiros movement should prosper, because there is a bureaucratic process to convene a party convention and all the rite would have been followed.
Within Tebet’s campaign, the reaction to the group’s movement is that it would be a strategy to try to make Lula win in the 1st round, but that could harm any MDB alliances in a possible 2nd round even without Tebet in the dispute.
There is confidence, despite the declarations of the chiefs who support Lula, that the senator’s name will be confirmed by the convention. By the campaign count, the senator would have 80% of the party’s votes to be the candidate.
