Exactly on August 13th, Arraes died 9 years ago.
A coincidence for many and destiny for many others, the PSB presidential candidate, Eduardo Campos, died on the exact same date as his grandfather and political mentor, Miguel Arraes, former governor of Pernambuco; if it was chance, a tragedy caused Eduardo to die today; if it was the work of destiny, the 'master of time' ensured that Arraes and Eduardo did not become presidents of the Republic and, moreover, that they entered history on a day that will undoubtedly go down in the history of Brazilian politics.
Pernambuco 247 - A coincidence for many and destiny for many others, but the PSB presidential candidate Eduardo Campos died on the exact same date as his grandfather and political mentor Miguel Arraes, former governor of Pernambuco.
Eduardo's death was confirmed this morning as a result of the plane crash he was in, at 10 am, in Santos, on the coast of São Paulo. The former governor of Pernambuco was aboard a Cessna jet, registration PR-AFA.
Miguel Arraes died on August 13, 2005, in Recife, Pernambuco. The cause of his death was a generalized infection, after two months of going from hospital to hospital.
Whether it was chance or mere coincidence, a tragedy has caused Eduardo Campos to die today, October 13th, the same date as his grandfather.
If it was the work of destiny, if it was truly 'written', the 'lord of time' took it upon himself to ensure that Arraes and Eduardo Campos did not become presidents of the Republic and, moreover, that they entered history on a day that will undoubtedly go down in the history of Brazilian politics.
