Rogério: Edivan is "very afraid" of João's candidacy in 2014.
The statement by federal deputy and president of the PT (Workers' Party), Rogério Carvalho, contradicts Edivan Amorim's claim that the PT would be rooting for the current mayor of Aracaju to run for governor next year; the PT member denies this desire and says he is working for Déda's candidacy for the Senate and Jackson's for governor.
Sergipe 247 – The president of the PT in Sergipe, federal deputy Rogério Carvalho, stated in an interview with Jornal da Cidade this Sunday/Monday (April 14 and 15) that the president of the PTB in the state, Edivan Amorim, is "very afraid" of the candidacy of former governor João Alves Filho (DEM) for Governor in 2014.
The parliamentarian's statement reflects Edivan's statements during the radio program Jornal da Ilha, last Friday (12), when he said that the PT would be rooting for a candidacy of the current mayor of the capital for Governor next year. "The PT does not have that desire," Rogério stressed.
He also said that the PT has a candidate for senator, who is Governor Marcelo Déda, and there is an internal debate pointing to Vice-Governor Jackson Barreto (PMDB) as a candidate for governor in 2014. "Our desire is to unite forces within our bloc," he noted.
Regarding the PT's preparation for the upcoming elections, Rogério said that the party will hold caravans in six regions of the state to mobilize members, and will organize thematic seminars on education, health, relations with social movements, and public safety, in addition to holding internal elections to define the municipal and state leadership.
