BRASILIA (Reuters) – Former governor Geraldo Alckmin agreed on Monday his affiliation to the PSB, with the aim of being the vice-presidential candidate on the ticket of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, even without the party and the PT also agreed to form a federation for this year’s elections.
According to deputy Julio Delgado (PSB-MG), at a meeting this Monday morning, in São Paulo, the membership was agreed and a partisan act will be scheduled soon to seal the former governor’s adhesion.
According to a source close to the party’s leadership, Alckmin’s membership was settled after Lula’s invitation to Alckmin to be his running mate was sealed. The model of this alliance, however, is not yet defined.
On Wednesday, PT, PSB, PV and PCdoB meet again to discuss the attempt to form a federation between the four parties, but negotiations have progressed little in recent weeks. The dispute for the head of the ticket for the government of São Paulo, especially, but also difficulties in agreement in Rio Grande do Sul and Espírito Santo still complicate the scenario.
According to Delgado, if Alckmin is indeed vice president, the PSB is debating whether to close just one coalition with the PT at the national level – which may occur later on – or whether it will form a federation with the PT members, whose final agreement is up to 31 of May.
