Alongside historical paintings from the PSDB, presenter José Luiz Datena launched this Thursday morning, the 13th, his pre-candidacy for Mayor of São Paulo. Together with Aécio Neves, Marconi Perillo and José Aníbal, Datena said that this is the election in which he feels most “afraid”, but that he is prepared and that, this time, he will go “to the end” of the process.
“I have already put on my sandals to cross the Rubicon and face whoever,” said Datena. “I feel that I have more responsibility in this campaign than in the others”, he continued, saying that not only will he win the elections, but that São Paulo will be governed by him, while the country will be governed by the PSDB.
Datena was going to give a press conference at the end of the event, but canceled the plan, justifying that her health is still fragile and that she wants to preserve herself. He said he underwent three surgeries recently. The preservation of his voice was also cited to avoid the press conference.
Aécio, who spoke before, celebrated the presenter’s entry into the acronym and placed both Datena and the caption as an alternative to “these two extremes that are there”. The toucan also cited, on several occasions, the “rebirth” of the PSDB, a party that has been losing size and influence since Aécio’s defeat to Dilma Rousseff in the 2014 presidential elections.
In his speech, Aécio acknowledged that the party does not have the strength it once had, but declared that the “weakening” of the PSDB is “conflated with Brazilian politics itself”.
Marconi Perillo, current national president of the party, maintained the speech that Aécio was “unjustified” by not being elected president of the country, and also spoke about rebuilding the PSDB.
Datena
This is Datena’s second membership event this year. In April, Datena joined the PSB, which invited him to be vice-president of pre-candidate Tabata Amaral (PSB). The presenter, however, avoided putting the hammer down on the alliance. Even with Datena launching a pre-candidacy, the federal deputy maintains the invitation with the promise of “surprises” on the topic.
Datena commented that he arrived at the PSDB at the suggestion of Tabata, “under different circumstances”, but that the scenario was changed. The presenter, however, continued to praise the deputy, talking about the need to have more women in politics.
