Ariano Suassuna defends Dilma's reelection.
The writer Ariano Suassuna, who always campaigned alongside socialist groups, declared that, at this moment, Eduardo Campos should not be aiming for 2014; “It’s not the time for that. I have never shied away from politics, I do politics with a capital 'P'. I have an interest in Brazil. For now, we want Dilma's re-election.”
PE247 - The possible presidential candidacy of the governor of Pernambuco and national president of the PSB, Eduardo Campos, is not expected to have significant support. The writer Ariano Suassuna, who has always been active alongside socialist groups, declared, according to the Jornal Vanguarda, from Caruaru, Pernambuco's Agreste region, that at this moment, Eduardo should not aim for 2014. “It's not the time for that. I'm not talking about petty politics. I have never been silent in politics, I do politics with a capital 'P'. I have an interest in Brazil. For now, we are aiming for Dilma's re-election,” the writer reportedly declared upon leaving the seminar Juntos por Pernambuco, which took place this Thursday (21), in Gravatá, Agreste region of the State.
According to Vanguarda, Ariano said he hadn't forgotten the history of former governor Miguel Arraes, Eduardo's grandfather, and that he considers the governor "the most brilliant politician I've ever known in my life." "I haven't forgotten Miguel Arraes's history. Eduardo doesn't have the age or the time to fight enough, but he is the most brilliant politician I know. I think he is the most capable of carrying forward the advances of Lula's government," he said. At this point, when asked if the statement was a declaration of support for Eduardo's presidential candidacy in 2014, the writer reportedly defended the re-election of President Dilma Rousseff (PT).
