Sergipe 247 - Although the PSDB in Sergipe is moving towards an alliance with the PSC, the party of pre-candidate for governor Eduardo Amorim, half of the PSDB mayors will not follow the party's guidance. Currently, in the state, the PSDB controls four municipalities - Itabaianinha (25,8 voters), Itaporanga (22,7 voters), Lagarto (66 voters) and Santa Luzia do Itanhy (9,3 voters). Of these cities, mayors Lila Fraga (Lagarto) and Maria das Graças (Itaporanga) have already informed the State Directorate that they do not agree with the party's likely position of supporting Amorim.
They met with state president Roberto Góes and vice-president José Carlos Machado last Thursday (26) to discuss the matter. The mayor of Itabaianinha, Robson da Laranja, was unable to attend the meeting. Paulo César (Santa Luzia), according to Roberto Góes, decided to follow the direction of the political group.
The dissenting mayors claimed that there is a very large divergence in their municipalities with politicians affiliated with the PSC, which would be an obstacle to formalizing their support. According to the PSDB member, at the meeting the mayors ratified their support for the candidacy of Senator Aécio Neves from Minas Gerais for president, but made it clear that they will not campaign for Eduardo Amorim. Both Lila and Gracinha are expected to support Governor Jackson Barreto (PMDB).
