Tocantins 247 - The gubernatorial candidate Marcelo Miranda (PMDB), from the coalition "Experience Makes the Change," lashed out at the mayor of Palmas, Carlos Amastha (PP), during a rally in Taquaralto this Wednesday, the 1st. In his last rally, Miranda decided to respond to the criticisms that Amastha has been launching on social media against his candidacies, those of Senator Kátia Abreu (PMDB) seeking re-election, and those of Dulce Miranda (PMDB) and Carlos Gaguim (PMDB) for federal deputies. Amastha is demanding the resignation of the four candidates after the seizure of R$ 504 in cash on a plane containing campaign material for Miranda and Gaguim.

"I have a message for the current mayor of Palmas. Don't forget what you're doing, you know why? I didn't support you. Don't worry. You invited me to support you, but I preferred to support another candidate. Now I'm going to win these elections and I'm not going to Twitter, WhatsApp or Facebook to denigrate anyone's image, because I don't need to lower myself to that level. Be a man, mayor," Miranda exclaimed.

Marcelo Miranda stated that he responded to Amastha because he was tired of the manager's provocations on social media, which he considered offensive. "I am a family man. Go look at your own history," added the PMDB candidate.

on your profile on Twitter On Facebook, Carlos Amastha has perhaps been the most critical of Governor Sandoval Cardoso's (SD) opponents. His attacks are frequently directed at Representative Marcelo Lélis (PV), from whom he won the 2012 elections. But Marcelo Miranda is not spared by the Capital's mayor. "MM's participation in yesterday's debate was absolutely shameful. His attempt to continue playing the victim is disgusting. LIAR AND COWARD," Amastha wrote this Wednesday, regarding the TV Anhanguera debate.

Marcelo's wife and candidate to be one of the most voted for the Federal Chamber, Dulce Miranda, also didn't mince words when responding to Amastha. "That mayor called my husband a dead dog, and I say to him: the dead dog here has 50% in the polls," she retorted. "Mr. Mayor, the one who has no shame is you, deceiving the people of Taquari, hiring teachers and not paying them," she stated.
