"The PT [Workers' Party] has exhausted itself, it's worn out. Look at the Petrobras case. We don't think the PT invented corruption, but they stole too much. They went too far. Their project became a project of power for power's sake," he said.
Lupi also criticized the PT's relationship with the allied parties. "The conversation with the PT, with my friend Lula and with President Dilma, is about what slice of power each one gets. For me, that's not enough. I don't want a piece of chocolate to play with like a child sweetening their mouth. I want to be a partner in the factory, I want to help make the chocolate."
Finally, he announced the departure of Dilma's government. "We don't want to be like rats, fleeing the ship's hold when the first water comes in, but we also don't want to be the captain of the Titanic, who stayed on board until it sank."
