Councilor Milton Leite states that the acronym can offer “weighty” votes to the current mayor; Bolsonaro appointed former Rota colonel
The president of União Brasil in São Paulo, councilor Milton Leite, said this Tuesday (June 11, 2024) that the party intends to compete for the nomination for vice-president. Ricardo Nunes (MDB) by the city of São Paulo. The vacancy was claimed by the PL (Liberal Party) of Jair Bolsonaro.
The councilor, who is also president of the City Council under the Nunes administration, told the Power360 that the “Weight” from União Brasil is the number of votes in the ballot box and the definition should come out in the next 2 months.
The federal deputy Kim Kataguiri He is presented as a pre-candidate for Mayor of the party, but the definition has not been finalized. The councilor said he respected the former MBL, but stated that he intends to support Nunes, as he wants União Brasil in the municipal Executive.
O Power360 found that Kataguiri would not accept an invitation to join Nunes’ ticket. Other situations were being sought, such as incorporating the coach Pablo Marcal (PRTB) as Kataguiri’s deputy, but he refused and remains a pre-candidate for mayor.
Indefiniteness worries the PL
The nomination of the vice-president on Nunes’ ticket is essential for the PL to support the re-election of the current mayor. The former president personally appointed the former colonel of the PM-SP (Military Police of the State of São Paulo), Ricardo Mello Araújo.
However, the lack of definition for City Hall number 2 by Nunes’ campaign has caused unrest in the PL. The president of the party, Valdemar Costa Neto, said that the mayor “need Bolsonaro” and that without it “Nunes is dead”.
Pablo Marçal even met with Bolsonaro and has appeared in PL circles in the Chamber. Despite the approach and the nods, the former president reinforced his support for Nunes for defining his vice-president – who has not yet been announced.
The lack of definition was also commented on by the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), who in addition to being one of Bolsonaro’s main allies, is one of Nunes’ main supporters.
“I will be closed with President Bolsonaro and I understand that, even due to the change of scenery, it is more than ever important to make this agreement as quickly as possible”, said the governor.
