Lula suggests that the PT should not attack Marina and Eduardo.

PE247 – Even after the alliance between presidential candidate and governor of Pernambuco, Eduardo Campos (PSB), with former Environment Minister Marina Silva, who joined the socialist party last Saturday, former president Lula (PT) advised PT leaders not to engage in public confrontation with Campos and Marina. This information comes from columnist Cláudio Humberto.

According to the text, it is not in the PT's best interest to publicly confront the PSB in order to avoid jeopardizing the socialists' support in a possible second round, with President Dilma Rousseff (PT) and the PSDB's pre-candidate, Senator Aécio Neves, in the race.

While Campos, despite acknowledging the achievements of the Workers' Party administration since Lula's government, criticizes President Dilma's administration, the Workers' Party tends to emphasize its role in the economic growth of Pernambuco and, above all, the distribution of income at the national level as a consequence of social programs.

If the "order" from the PT's top leader is not to launch an attack against the PSB, on the other hand, The former president will come to the Northeast.In the first half of 2014, he will travel through the states to highlight the investments made by both his government and that of President Dilma in the region, which is the main electoral stronghold of the PT (Workers' Party). One of these stops, of course, will be in Pernambuco, which has federal investments such as the Atlântico Sul Shipyard (EAS), the Abreu e Lima refinery, the Petrochemical plant, Fiat, and the transposition of the São Francisco River.
