To the Flow Podcast, she said that former President Lula held meetings and sent messages to her to give up running
The MDB candidate for the presidency, Simone Tebetsaid this Thursday (18.Aug.2022) that “wanted” pull your rug during pre-campaign. She said the former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) tried to articulate with allies and Medebistas so that she would not run.
“They wanted to pull the rug out from under me and, because of that, they are not thinking about what a democracy is, which is the opportunity to give voters the opportunity to really choose. The real useful vote is to take a center candidacy to the 2nd round”said the senator.
In an interview with Flow Podcast, Tebet replied that the former president “had meetings” and “sent messages” against your candidacy. She cited Lula’s meeting with MDB leaders, whose photo was released to show that she would not have support at the Emedebista convention.
“The photograph is there for everyone to say. The photograph with them, I am not here to criticize my colleagues who were in the photograph because they were ministers of President Lula. They were with this president Lula in the past.”
“I am not discussing choices, but he [Lula] he held meetings, he sent messages, he created a situation. So much so, that he was a mayor from the interior of Alagoas, I don’t need to say anything else that he judicialized right after this photograph. Because they didn’t believe that I would have the courage to go all the way.”declared Senator.
The MDB convention, which made Tebet official as a candidate, was held remotely via the Zoom platform. The fact was questioned in the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) by the acronym wing that supports Lula and did not want the party to have its own candidate. The argument was that the tool did not guarantee the secrecy of the vote.
The main articulator of this movement was Senator Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL). On July 26, Court Minister Edson Fachin denied the request.
On July 18, party members from 11 Federation Units declared their support for former President Lula for the Planalto Palace, still in the 1st round.
The following day, MDB leaders in 19 states ratified their support for Tebet’s pre-candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic. Here’s the intact (99 KB).
After the defeat in Justice, the understanding among those discontented with the senator’s candidacy is of conformity. There would be nothing more to question to try to postpone the convention: “We did our part”said Renan to Power 360.
The idea of the Lulas would be to pave the way for Lula to win in the 1st round. The party, which released state agreements, also has cadres that support Bolsonaro.
During the interview with flowTebet also criticized the president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), mainly on the handling of the covid-19 pandemic. She avoided, however, calling him genocidal, but compared him to Lula.
“They are two sides of the same coin. They feed back. They are populists, personalists, who understand the country project as an ideological project within what they believe in”he said.
Tebet also repeated that he will give priority attention to education and to the poorest. She said several times that she will “clean up the house” and that she will advocate against reelection, declaring that she will not attempt a new term if elected.
