"They are crooks," says Kim Kataguiri about the PSDB.

Do Knockout - The magazine reporter PiauiBruno Abbud had access for two months to WhatsApp conversations between leaders of the MBL (Free Brazil Movement) and executives from institutions such as Banco Safra, XP Investimentos, and Merrill Lynch. The main topic of conversation in the group was the PSDB party and the internal split within it.

In the messages, members of the right-wing group's leadership—Kim Kataguiri, brothers Renan and Alexandre Santos, DEM councilman Fernando Holiday, YouTuber Arthur do Val, and funk singer Pedro D'Eyrot—discuss political and financial strategies.

The MBL supports João Doria's candidacy for president in 2018 and is interested in the young PSDB leadership: "The idea is to let all these rotten people sink with the PSDB and bring the younger, more liberal crowd to the MBL," wrote Kim Kataguiri. Alexandre Santos said that the movement is not "joining the PSDB. Much less Aécio, Beto Richa, and Alckmin." Kataguiri continued: "With those from the PSDB we have prejudice, concept, and post-concept. They are crooks."

According to the report, the main targets within the party are Senators Aécio Neves and José Serra, and the Governor of São Paulo, Geraldo Alckmin.

Serra was criticized for aligning himself with the Workers' Party senator Lindbergh Farias in suspending discussions about the new BNDES interest rate, which would be approved days later. Renan Santos commented: "And yesterday Serra, for example, who is from that left wing, was with Lindbergh Farias going against the TLP, imagine? Scoundrel."

Regarding Aécio, after being caught asking Joesley Batista for R$ 2 million, one participant wrote: "And Aécio... no comment needed... May he finish his term and be imprisoned afterward..." Renan Santos replied: "I agree. We just won't alter the current configuration of political forces or provide a narrative that favors the resurgence of the left in the meantime. That's the main point of what we defend."

Alckmin is mentioned when a member comments on the news that Aldo Rebelo would be the vice-governor candidate for the governor of São Paulo in a possible presidential race. Alexandre wrote: "Aldo Rebelo is finished. The good thing is that this buries the 'xuxu' for good." Renan replied: "Well, let's hope so."

Jair Bolsonaro is called "crude," "ignorant," "clueless," and "unacceptable." The messages say that Luciano Huck could "dilute the right-wing vote," weakening Doria. "He's a joke," said Renan Santos. Fifteen minutes later, he added: "Huck is trash. Politically correct, anti-gun, a boutique environmentalist, and an interventionist."

Renan then announces the MBL's political strategy: "With or without PSDB. The alliance that can elect you is in PMDB, DEM, evangelicals, agribusiness, and MBL. Our job will be to unite this group in a common project. I sincerely hope that the thesis we defend (alliance between modern sectors of the economy + agribusiness + evangelicals) will be applied. It's the best way to have a center-right political pact that engages with the countryside and the C class."

The messages also mention contributions to the MBL. One of the members of the WhatsApp group says he sent R$ 15 and will donate more. According to the report, more than R$ 50 was raised in two weeks. In addition to the sporadic contributions, the members described a fixed monthly income that, during the period of the conversations, only grew.

Regarding Temer, the report states that the MBL has a "utilitarian" relationship with the president: "it does not openly defend him, but uses its power of pressure to approve the movement's political, cultural, and economic agenda," such as the pension reform.
