247 - Jair Bolsonaro (PL) stated this Sunday (2) that he keeps the "doors open" for dialogue with former presidential candidates, notably Simone Tebet (MDB) and Ciro Gomes (PDT), and governors.

He specifically mentioned the re-elected governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema (Novo), who did not want to ally with the federal government in the first round, but could be an important platform in the second stage of the election. According to Bolsonaro, a meeting with Zema is scheduled for Tuesday (4) in Belo Horizonte.

"Contact has already been made today. We spoke with one of Zema's interlocutors today. The doors are open to talk [with other presidential candidates]," Bolsonaro declared.

On Sunday night, Ciro Gomes asked for "a few hours" to define his position in the second round. Tebet promised not to remain silent and urged the leadership of the parties in her alliance—MDB, PSDB, Cidadania, and Podemos—to act quickly regarding who to support.
