Without União Brasil, 3rd way will lose half of the electoral fund

Party has 747 million fund, 49% of the total of the group composed of MDB, PSDB and Citizenship

The possible departure of União Brasil from the “3rd way” block should have a major impact on the group. the acronym is entitled to receive more than BRL 700 million from the Electoral Fund in 2022. This is almost half of all the funds it had.

Electoral fund resources are distributed among acronyms based on the total votes received in the most recent general elections and also on the size of their seats in the House and Senate.

Currently, there are 4 parties trying to reach a consensus to have a single candidate for the presidency of the Republic: União Brasil, MDB, PSDB and Citizenship. The total resources of the Electoral Fund of the 4 parties total 1.51 billion. With the possible departure of União, the group would have around R$ 767.5 million.

One of the reasons that lead the acronym to consider the exit is precisely the verification of its musculature. The party has the largest Electoral Fund and the longest television time.

The possibility of leaving the group began to be considered after another frustrated meeting of the group at the meeting held on Tuesday (26.Apr.2022).

The idea ventilated within the party, if he lands, is of a pure ticket with Luciano Bivar, president of the acronym, and former judge Sérgio Moro. There is still no definition of who of the 2 would be the head of the presidential ticket and who would be the vice president.
