"The PSC's candidacy for Governor in 2014 is a matter of political survival."
The statement comes from federal deputy André Moura, state president of the PSC party; he says that the party has already supported other projects, such as Marcelo Déda's in 2010 and João Alves' in 2012, and that in next year's election, the group will "invest its strength in its own project"; he emphasizes that he hopes to count on João's support in 2014 and that he will support his re-election in 2016.
Sergipe 247 – Federal deputy André Moura, state president of the PSC party, stated in an interview with Jornal da Cidade, in its Sunday and Monday editions (July 22nd and 23rd), that the party's candidacy for Governor of the State "is a strategic issue, a matter of political survival, and it's already decided." According to him, the party understands that it "has already contributed to other projects"—in 2010, to Governor Marcelo Déda (PT), and in 2012, to Mayor João Alves Filho (DEM). "Now we want to invest our strength in our own project," said Moura, reaffirming that Senator Eduardo Amorim is "the strongest name, the one with the best political conditions."
According to the parliamentarian, the alliance between the PSC leaders and the mayor of Aracaju “remains strong,” even though the party does not hold positions in the administration. “The space we have is to contribute in another sphere, always thinking about the greater interests of the population. Our council members are discussing the problems affecting the population with the mayor and secretaries. In Congress, Eduardo Amorim and I have been providing our support through the allocation of amendments from the Union Budget for the projects that the mayor has presented to us,” he said. André emphasizes that the PSC wishes to maintain the alliance with the DEM for both 2014 and 2016, “in the renewal of João Alves's mandate.”
