Ciro surrenders to Campos, 'if the PSB decides'.
The former minister, who once said that the Pernambuco governor's solo flight was "inopportune," now criticizes Dilma to legitimize the party's project: the administration is "very bad" and the country's economy is "deteriorating" rapidly and severely, with possible consequences at the polls in 2014.
247 – After raising the flag within the PSB against the candidacy project of the governor of Pernambuco, Eduardo Campos, former minister Ciro Gomes (PSB) backtracked and now says he is attacking his party's decision.
He and his brother Cid, governor of Ceará, advocated maintaining the national alliance with the PT (Workers' Party), and consequently, supporting Dilma Rousseff's reelection. In April, he even said that Campos's solo flight was "inopportune."
Now, however, the tone of the speech has changed:
"She [Dilma] might even make it to the election, but she won't win the way things are going. The hole in Brazil's external accounts is the biggest in history," he said.
According to Folha, Ciro believes Dilma's administration is "very bad" and the country's economy is "deteriorating" rapidly and severely, with possible consequences at the polls in 2014.
The new stance is related to an agreement reached with Campos during a dinner, in which he proposed a ceasefire.
"If the government doesn't understand that it needs to discuss the country's issues, talk to him [Campos], and recognize him as an important leader of the country, there's no reason for him to submit."
